JUDGEMENT<o:p></o:p>

</div>ANIN YEBOAH JSC<o:p></o:p>The
applicant herein has moved this Court under Article 133(1) of the 1992
Constitution and Rule 54(a) of the Supreme Court Rules 1996 (C.I 16) to review
part of the clarificatory decision delivered by this court’s ordinary bench on
the 10th of March 2016.<o:p></o:p>To
appreciate the reasons for this delivery it would be worthwhile to briefly
state the facts giving rise to this application for review.<o:p></o:p>On
the 20/4/2009 the applicant herein commenced an action against the three respondents
in this application at the Commercial Division of the High Court, Accra. The
High Court gave judgment in favour of the plaintiffs against the 1st
and 3rd defendants and dismissed the action against the 2nd
defendant, the Attorney-General. An appeal was lodged at the Court of Appeal,
Accra by the Applicant herein against part of the judgment which dismissed the
applicant’s claim against the 2nd defendant. The Court of Appeal, on
28/03/2013 allowed the appeal and made the second defendant as a judgment
debtor. The second defendant lodged an appeal to this Court against the
judgment of the Court of Appeal. This Court on 28/11/2014 dismissed the appeal.
Not satisfied by the judgment of this court, the second defendant filed an
application for review of the judgment of this Court dated 28/11/2014 but same
was dismissed on 28/01/2015. The second defendant on 25/11/2015 by a motion
sought clarification on parts of the judgment of the 28/11/2014. In that
clarification application, the 2nd Defendant herein prayed this
court for the following reliefs as per the motion paper.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
“the use of the word “jointly” and
“jointly and severally” in the judgment and the certificate of the order of
this Honourable Court respectively.<o:p></o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
the appropriate computation of the
interest (whether compound or simple interest) as regards the contract signed
on 26th August 2005,&nbsp; between
the Plaintiffs, NDK Financial Services and the 1st Defendant, Ahaman
Enterprise Limited.<o:p></o:p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
the period for the computation of the
interest exigible.”<o:p></o:p></main>
