</div>&nbsp;On the 12th day of April, 2010 the
plaintiff herein issued a writ against the 1st and 2nd
defendants for:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;“a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A
declaration that Defendant did not have the right to transfer money from
Plaintiff’s dollar account without Plaintiff’s authority.<o:p></o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A
declaration that Defendant’s conduct amounted to manipulation of Plaintiff’s
dollar account.<o:p></o:p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An
order compelling Defendant to immediately transfer the USD2, 488.059.65 back to
Plaintiff’s Account No.0101301000613.<o:p></o:p>d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Interest
on the USD for the period that Defendant has kept and used Plaintiff’s dollars.<o:p></o:p>e.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; General
damages against Defendant for breach of confidentiality and fiduciary duty to
Plaintiff.<o:p></o:p>f.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Costs”.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;In the meantime, the 3rd and 4th
defendants successfully applied to join the suit.&nbsp; After entering appearance to the amended writ
of summons, the 3rd and 4th defendants filed a motion on
notice praying for an order of the court to “set
aside the writ of summons on the grounds of want of capacity and for any
further order or orders as the court deems fit”. The main grounds for the
application, in my view, are set out in paragraphs 4 to 20 and paragraphs 25
and 26 of the affidavit in support which reads as follows:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;“4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; That
we are directors of the Plaintiff Company which was incorporated under the laws
of Ghana sometime on or about the 16th November, 2009.&nbsp; (See Exhibits 1 and 2 attached).<o:</main>
