IN THE MATTER OF SECTION 68 OF THE MENTAL HEALTH ACT, 2012 (ACT 846) AND IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A GUARDIAN FOR FELIX YAWO AKOTO AND IN THE MATTER OF AN APPLICATION FOR THE APPOINTMENT OF A GUARDIAN BY SITSOFE AMA AKOTO

Presiding over the High Court, Her Ladyship Justice Cynthia Wiredu considered an application placed before the court. In a succinct ruling, the judge stated that she had reviewed the application and was of the opinion that granting it would be in the best interest of the subject matter. Acting on that assessment, the court granted the application. The ruling reflects the court’s exercise of discretion, guided by the perceived welfare and effective administration surrounding the subject of the application, and indicates that no adverse considerations outweighed the advantages of granting relief. Although the ruling does not identify the parties or the precise relief requested, it confirms that the court found the application meritorious after deliberation, and thus issued an order in favor of the party who brought the application.
