RULING<o:p></o:p>

</div>&nbsp;The application before me seeks an order of this
Court to commit Daniel Akwetey Tetteh for contempt of court and to further
commit him to prison.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Applicant obtained summary judgment against the
Respondent who was ordered to discharge the Plaintiff/Applicant’s mortgage
within 14 days.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Applicant says that the said Judgment was duly
entered and the Entry of Judgment served on the Respondent on the 27th
March, 2009.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;On the 22nd April 2009, the time to
comply with the judgment was extended and the Respondent given up to the last
date of July, 2009 to comply with the judgment..<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;It has been deposed that up to date the
Defendant/Respondent has willfully failed to comply with the orders of the
Court.&nbsp; The main complaint of the 1st
Defendant/Respondent is contained in paragraphs 7 to 15 of the supplementary
affidavit in opposition filed on the 17th November, 2009.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Respondent says that summary judgment was given in
respect of relief 1 endorsed on the Plaintiff’s writ of summons.&nbsp; However the Plaintiff has entered judgment
for all the reliefs endorsed on the writ of summons.&nbsp; According to the Respondent:-<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;“The said act of the Plaintiff/Applicant has misled
me gravely on what is needed and required of me in order to comply with
judgment of the court”. &nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Respondent has also argued that his “inability
to comply with the said court judgment is not deliberate or willful but due to
the heavier demands imposed on his limited resources in attempting to conform
to the wider demands of the Plaintiff/Applicant’s writ and statement of claim”.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Respondent says that the inculcation into the
Entry of Judgment by the Plaintiff/Applicant of things for which the court has
given no judgment is deliberate and fraudulent.<o:p></o:p>
