The right to own or occupy land extends beyond merely having legal title or possession. It also includes the right to enjoy one’s property peacefully, comfortably, and without unreasonable interference from neighboring landowners or occupiers.

Trespass to land is one of the most significant torts under Ghanaian law, protecting an individual’s right to possess and enjoy land without unlawful interference. It occurs when a person intentionally or negligently enters or interferes with another person’s land without lawful authority, consent, or any legal justification. Importantly, the law protects not only ownership but also lawful possession.
Housing is more than just a place to live; it is a fundamental necessity and an important aspect of human dignity. In Ghana, millions of people occupy residential premises as tenants under oral or written tenancy agreements.
Labour and employment law regulates one of the most essential relationships in any society: the connection between employers and employees. This relationship extends beyond mere transactions; it is fundamentally linked to national productivity, economic growth, and social unity. The essence of labour law is to harmonize the often conflicting interests of capital and labour by ensuring that economic advancement does not occur at the expense of workers’ rights, dignity, or welfare.
Under the laws of the Republic of Ghana, spouses are entitled to certain rights and protections. These rights include: the right to property, the right to divorce, the right to custody of a child or visitation as well as general rights provided for under Chapter 5 of the 1992 constitution. Som simply because a person is married, does not take away their rights such as freedom of expression and association among others.
Freedom of religion remains one of the most firmly protected rights under the 1992 Constitution. As Ghana becomes increasingly diverse, courts are being asked to define how far this freedom extends and how it should operate within public institutions, especially schools.
The ongoing litigation in Shafic Osman v Board of Governors of Wesley Girls Senior High School and Others, Suit No. J8 23 2026, marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of this right. Across the past decade, constitutional cases involving faith, schooling and equality have reshaped how Ghana understands religious liberty.
