The High Court has issued a restraining order against lawyer Kwame Adofo, prohibiting him from disclosing any information about Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), documents show.
This order issued on 4 July and sighted by dailymailgh.com, is part of a defamation suit filed by KATH against Adofo, who served as the hospital’s solicitor from 2018 to 2023.
According to the court’s ruling, Adofo is restrained from “revealing any information about the plaintiff between 2018 and 2023 which came to his actual or constructive knowledge from management, workers, or third parties dealing with the plaintiff hospital.”
This prohibition extends to “making any post on any of the defendant’s social media platforms, be it WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, or any other place, on all matters concerning the plaintiff and its operations.”
In addition, the court’s order prevents Adofo from discussing any issues related to “KATH’s operations on radio or television…, pending the final determination of the suit”
Lawyer Adofo incurred the wrath of the hospital after he reportedly published sensitive information about the hospital’s operations on traditional and social media.
The suit filed by KATH on Wednesday (31 January 2024) averred that Adofo, whose “unprofessional” conduct was reported to the General Legal Council “persists in his unguided crusade at spewing a lot of unfortunate comments about the Hospital (plaintiff) about its operations”.
KATH wants the Court to among others “delete all the statements, comments or reactions stated on Adofo’s Facebook wall” and render an unqualified apology to the hospital.
