DAN ANTWI OTCHERE vs SIC LIFE SAVINGS & LOANS CO.

RULING I have listened to the submissions for and against the application by the Plaintiff/Applicant (hereinafter called the Applicant) to be granted leave to amend his entry of judgment. I have also read the documents filed in this application. In this application, the Applicant is seeking the leave of the court to amend his original entry of judgment filed on 6th April, 2023, by adding the post judgment interest and the cost which was awarded to him, when the Defendant/Respondent (hereinafter called the Respondent) application for stay of execution was dismissed.
