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

</div>The
Plaintiff commenced the current action against the Defendant herein and M/S
Taysec Limited on 14th January, 2010 for the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recovery of all monies deducted from the
Plaintiff’s salary during his years of service from October, 2003 to August,
2009 including leave allowance not paid over the period plus interest at the
compound rate, the monies having already accrued to Plaintiff over which taxes
have been paid to the state but not enjoyed to the date of final judgment.<o:p></o:p>(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
GH¢50,000.00 compensation general damage for
unlawful and unjustifiably refusing to pay to the Plaintiff part of his
lawfully earned salary withheld by the first Defendant thereby condemning him
and his family to life of penning and hardship and debts which he must
necessarily incurs by borrowing money to feed his family and educate his
children.<o:p></o:p>(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Punitive costs from Defendant jointly and severally
for conspiracy to unjustly punish him for the defaulting of the 2nd
Defendant to the 1st Defendant for the materials he took from them
for their jobs.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Defendant
herein entered appearance on 22nd January, 2010 and M/S Taysec
entered appearance on 19th May, 2010. Defendant went on to file its
statement of defence on 4th February, 2010 and Taysec Limited filed
its statement of defence on 24th May, 2010. Both Defendants denied
the claim of the Plaintiff in their statements of defence.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Upon an
application filed by Taysec Limited on 26th May, 2010, to strike out
Plaintiff’s pleadings against it, the court struck out the pleadings against
Taysec Limited. The case, therefore, went on between the Plaintiff and the
Defendant herein.<o:p></o:p>
