</div>The applicant has filed a Motion on Notice
to Register and enforce an arbitration award under Section 57 of the ADR Act 2010 Act 798.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Before this Court could hear the
arguments, the respondents had filed a Motion for an Order of Judicial
Review.&nbsp; Processes were stayed until the
disposal of this motion for Judicial Review before the Fast Track High Court, Accra.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Fast Track High Court on the 30th
day of January, 2014 presided over by Justice N. M. C Abodakpi gave his ruling
dismissing the application as brought by the respondent’s herein.&nbsp; The learned Judge, concluded his reasoned
Judgment stated “… but the application is not only incompetent, but lacks
merit, for reasons stated above”.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Section 57 provides thus:-<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;

An award made by an arbitrator
pursuant to an arbitration agreement&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
may by leave of the High Court, be enforced in the same manner as a
Judgment or Order of the Court of the same effect.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:0cm;
