</div>TORKORNOO, J. A:<o:p></o:p>The Appellants were sued for the sum of $147,038.52,
interest thereon at the rate of 18.5% per annum from 10th July, 2012
to date of final payment, and costs of the action. Along with a Statement of Defence
to the action, they counterclaimed for<o:p></o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
declaration that on a proper interpretation of the agreement the interest
applied historically by the Plaintiff is wrong.<o:p></o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An
order for all true proper and necessary account to be taken between the parties
on all payments made and received by Plaintiff to ascertain the correct account
between the parties.<o:p></o:p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
declaration that the agreement between the parties is still subsisting and
valid.<o:p></o:p>d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
declaration that the suit is caught by the doctrine of lis alibi pendes, is an
abuse of process and not maintainable.<o:p></o:p>
