Joana Quaye, the former wife of business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye, popularly called RNAQ, has formally petitioned the Chief Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie and the Judicial Council over the conduct of the trial judge.
In her petition, Joana Quaye described Justice Justin Dorgu's conduct while handling the case as 'gross.'

According to RNAQ's ex-wife, even though the judge issued final orders in the case on January 20, 2026, the full written judgment was released on April 20, 2026.
This means the full written judgment was released when the appeal window had expired a day earlier, on April 19, 2026.
In the petition, her lawyers, Dame & Partners, argued that the delay in the release of the written judgment affected her ability to assess and challenge it within the appeal window.
The petition further alleged that the sequence of events raises concerns about procedural fairness.
According to Joana Quaye, the judge concluded on some issues even before completing and releasing the full written judgment, a process she says undermined her right to a fair appeal.
She also claims the handling of the judgment created uncertainty regarding the basis of the court’s decision and has called for an investigation into whether the delay constituted judicial misconduct.
Joana Quaye is therefore calling on the Chief Justice and the Judicial Council to examine the circumstances surrounding the release of the judgment and determine whether any judicial or procedural breaches occurred.
