Nuhela and her colleague were holding brief for Thaddeus Sory, the substantive lawyer for the MP in his three-pronged legal battle against the clergymn.
Ablakwa won a case in which Kusi Boateng had sought the court to restrict him from further publications of his personal details.
The court, however, dismissed the case stating that the clergyman's other name Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, which he avers was an alias; was actually a seperate individual hence the court ruled that he did not have locus standi to bring a case before it as the real identity of the plaintiff was not clear.
It is the second case Ablakwa has won against Kusi Boateng after a contempt charge against the lawmaker for kicking court summons was thrown out weeks prior. The final case is a defamation suit the clergman has brought against the MP.
