</div>On
the 26th of July, 2016, the court ordered the defendants/Applicants
to file their written submissions within 21days in respect of the two
applications filed by them. The record before me clearly shows that the
defendant/Applicant have failed to comply with the order of the court directing
them to file their written submission. I have been shown a copy of a written
submission filed by Applicant Counsel in respect of the Motion for the
suspension of the order of the court dated 9th May, 2016. This
submission was filed on the 17th October, 2016. Today is 1st
November. The order was made on the 26th July, 2016 for Applicant to
file their submission. In my view, Applicant have failed to move the court in
respect of their motion which seeks to struck out the names of 2nd 3rd
&amp; 4th defendants. Accordingly, the Application seeking an order
to strike out the names of the 2nd 3rd and 4th
defendants from the suit is hereby struck out for want of prosecution. I award
to the plaintiff costs of GH10, 000.00 against the 2nd 3rd
and 4th defendants. I shall adjourn the application for the
suspension of the court order to 18th November, 2016 for ruling. The
costs awarded is to be paid before the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
defendants can take any fresh step in that regard. Case is accordingly adjourned
to 18th November, 2016 for ruling. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
