High Court's ruling in UEW, UTAG case quashed
The Supreme Court further held that the Winneba High Court erred in law when it granted an originating summons instead of a writ of summons.
It has, therefore, quashed the decision of the High Court because its jurisdiction was invoked wrongly.
It ruled that Mr Kayera has the right to file fresh writ of summons at the High Court.

The court, however, declared that its ruling did not affect the new governing council decision on the six persons who have been interdicted.
The court also ruled that the Vice Chancellor, Prof Mawutor Avoke, and the Finance Officer, Dr Theophilus Ackorlie, were implicated in financial malfeasance and procurement breaches, therefore, were not fit to come back and continue holding their positions.
Afenyo Markin, who represented Mr Kayera at the Supreme Court, said they were going to start the entire legal process through a writ of summons.
University Teachers Association of Ghana branch of University Education of Winneba went to the Supreme Court praying it to overturn the High Court order to the Vice-Chancellor and Finance Officer.
