The High Court, Industrial and Labour Division 2 in Accra, has granted an application for substituted service, allowing the National Labour Commission (NLC) to serve an interlocutory injunction notice on the Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA).
The decision follows a motion filed by the NLC on June 10, citing challenges in directly serving the GRNMA with the injunction order issued on June 5. The court, presided over by Justice Priscilla Dikro Ofori, approved the request, outlining alternative methods of service.
According to the ruling, the injunction notice will be posted on the High Court’s notice board and at the entrance of the GRNMA office. Additionally, digital copies will be sent via WhatsApp to the association’s president, Perpetual Ofori Ampofo, and general secretary, David Tenkorang-Twum.
The court stipulated that the process would be deemed complete after 14 days of posting, officially notifying the GRNMA of the injunction order.
The move comes amid ongoing tensions between the nurses’ association and the government over conditions of service, with the legal battle further complicating efforts to resolve the dispute.
