World has indeed become a Global village. Business entities, men and women
alike, carry out business around the globe with ease. From the North to the
South, through the East to the West, all manner of items are traded in. The
Plaintiff before me has described herself as one of such modern day traders,
who trades in various items from the East, specifically, China. She trades
under the name and style GYEMAR DECORATIONS. It is alleged that she had some
business transactions with the 2nd Defendant Lodge through its
Manager, the 1st Defendant herein.&nbsp;
As a result of this business activity, the Plaintiff has sued the 1st

May, 2011 till date of final payment.<o:p></o:p>e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Costs.<o:p></o:p>The
3rd Defendant who has&nbsp;
described itself&nbsp; as an
independent contractor which won a contract to carry out renovation works at
the 2nd Defendant Lodge was joined to the suit by the Court under
Order 4 rule 5 (2) (b) of C.I. 47 as a necessary party to ensure the final
determination of the issues before this court. All three Defendants were
represented by one lawyer irrespective of their conflicting interests.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>By
