</div>MARIAMA OWUSU, J.A:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>On
29-6-2010, the High Court, Commercial Division, Accra dismissed the plaintiff’s
claim as not proved.&nbsp; The defendants
counterclaim was upheld.<o:p></o:p>Dissatisfied
with the decision of the trial court, the plaintiff appealed to the Court of
Appeal on the following grounds:<o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
That
the learned trial Judge erred in refusing to grant the plaintiff the reliefs
endorsed on plaintiff’s writ of summons.<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
learned trial Judge erred in holding that the plaintiff had rather breached the
contract with the 1st defendant and in awarding a nominal damage of
one thousand Ghana cedis (GH¢1,000.00) against the plaintiff.<o:p></o:p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
learned trial Judge in holding that the plaintiff must pay one hundred and
forty one thousand, nine hundred Ghana cedis (GH¢141,900.00) and one hundred
and thirty-seven United States Dollars (US$137,700.00) with interest.<o:p></o:p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
learned trial Judge erred in awarding cost of two thousand Ghana cedis
(GH¢2,000.00) against the plaintiff.<o:p></o:p>
