JUDGMENT<o:p></o:p>

</div>KUSI-APPIAH,
J.A.: This is an application by the applicant herein seeking
an order to disqualify Kizito Beyuo Esquire, as counsel for the
plaintiff/appellant herein under Section 5 (10) of Legal Profession
(Professional Conduct and Etiquette) Rules, 1969 L.I. 613.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The brief facts of the case as can
be gathered from the processes/ pleadings are as follows:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>On or about 29 April 2008, the
plaintiff/appellant in this case with others numbering six, commenced an action
against numbering six, commenced an action against the applicant and the other
defendants in Tema High Court for the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>“(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An order for perpetual injunction
restraining the 1st and 2nd defendants, their agents,
servants, assigns, etc. from in any way whatsoever preventing the issuance of
five (5) separate and individual cheques to plaintiffs and 1st
defendant. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An order compelling the 2nd
defendant to issue five (5) separate and equal cheques to the plaintiffs and
the 1st defendant instead of issuing a single cheque to only the 1st
defendant.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Damages
and costs.”<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>In the Tema Suit, the six plaintiffs
(including one Josephine Asiefu also known as Josephine Akita) pursuant to the
sale of Mancell Girls School in Kumasi applied to the court for an order
compelling the 2nd defendant, that is the Minister, Ministry of
Women and Children Affairs and the then Attorney-General to pay the monies
being the consideration in five different cheques.&nbsp; And in pursuance to this application, the six
plaintiffs obtained an order for the said money to be paid into the court.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The processes in this case also
indicate that the writ in Tema Suit was filed by Mr. R.S. Blay as counsel for
the six plaintiffs but Mr. Kizito Beyuo joined in later as co-counsel for the
plaintiffs.&nbsp; And in the course of the
proceedings the plaintiff/appellant sought leave to amend her claim through Mr.
Kizito Beyuo to seek a revocation of the sale because she did not consent to
the sale of the Institute.<o:p></o:p>
