HER
LADYSHIP JUSTICE BARBARA TETTEH-CHARWAY (MRS)<o:p></o:p>

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

</div>

Briefly, the facts of this
case are that the 1ST plaintiff is a registered
company that operates a printing press whilst the 2ND plaintiff is
the manager of a restaurant in Asylum Down, Accra. The 1ST
defendant, on the other hand, is the owner of a Toyota corolla saloon car with
registration number GR 2581-10, whilst the 2ND plaintiff is the
driver of the said vehicle.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

On 13TH March
2011, 2ND plaintiff whilst driving 1ST plaintiff’s car
got involved in an accident with 2ND
defendant who was driving 1ST defendant’s car at the
time. The parties tried to settle the matter out of court but settlement broke
down. As a result, defendants instituted an action against plaintiffs in suit no. C9/01/2012
at the Circuit Court, for general
and special damages for injury and loss sustained, as well as for the
replacement value of the car at the then current price of GHC12,000. In the
said suit, the defendants obtained default judgment against the plaintiffs
herein, who entered appearance but did not defend the action.<o:p></o:p>
