The Ghana Football Association’s attempt to secure an abridgement of time for accelerated hearing with respect to their court case with Accra Great Olympics hit a snag on Wednesday.
Olympics applied for an injunction pending appeal at the Accra High Court last week on an earlier request to stop the GFA from organizing the 2017/18 Ghana Premier League without them.
The appeal hearing was scheduled for Thursday March 15.
But the GFA, which has seen the new campaign stopped from starting twice since February, moved to push forward the hearing.
However, Olympics failed to appear in court Wednesday morning for the abridgement hearing with the excuse that their lawyer Kwesi Austin is unwell.
This thus forces the abridgement hearing to be adjourned to March 15, the same date for the first hearing of Olympics’ application for injunction pending appeal case.
Meanwhile, the court awarded a cost of GH¢1,000 against Olympics for nonappearance.
