JUDGEMENT <o:p></o:p>

</div>ARYEETEY,
JSC<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The
plaintiff company was a registered distributor of flour supplied by the
defendant company and it surrendered additional documents to the defendant&nbsp; company, pursuant to a supposed mortgage
transaction they entered into, so as to secure payment for the increase in the
supply of flour to the plaintiff company. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>However,
the defendant company did not supply additional quantities of flour to the
plaintiff as presumably envisaged because the plaintiff was already indebted to
the defendant. When the plaintiff company demanded the demanded the return of
its documents the defendant refused to do so. Therefore, for his remedy, as per
his amended writ of summons, the plaintiff sued the defendant for following
reliefs:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The return
of the following documents unlawfully detained by the defendant.<o:p></o:p>i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

relating to House Number 327/1 Ashanti Road, Cape Coast, executed between E.C
Wryter and Elizabeth Derby and her children.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
