</div>SOPHIA ADINYIRA (MRS.) JSC
(PRESIDING): <o:p></o:p>The
application before this Court invokes the supervisory jurisdiction of the Court
against the High Court (Commercial
Division), Accra praying this Court for an order of certiorari to bring up into
this Court for purposes of being quashed the ruling of His Lordship Justice Eric
Kyei Baffour dated the 28th day of October, 2016 upon the facts deposed to in
the accompanying affidavit. <o:p></o:p>The
grounds for the application are as follows:<o:p></o:p>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Error of law on
the face of the record.<o:p></o:p>ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Wrongful
assumption of jurisdiction by the High Court (Commercial Division), Accra.<o:p></o:p>iii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Excess of
jurisdiction.<o:p></o:p>
