Renowned Human Rights Lawyer, Francis Xavier-Sosu, has filed an appeal at the Court of Appeal in Accra to challenge the 3-year ban imposed on him by the General Legal Council.

He is among other things seeking a declaration that the General Legal Council erred in imposing the ban on him for overcharging a client and advertising his firm on social media.

He is also seeking a declaration that the charge of touting and personal advertisement leveled against him by the General Legal Council is discriminatory and contrary to Article 17 of the 1992 Constitution. In his appeal filed today [Wednesday], he is seeking 8 other declarations and praying the court to quash his 3-year ban.
