</div>By a writ of summons
issued on the 15 January 2015, the plaintiff claimed against the defendant as
follows:<o:p></o:p>a.
An order that defendant do forthwith deliver up to plaintiff three hundred
(300) blowstar packs or its current price. <o:p></o:p>b.
An order that defendant do forthwith deliver up to Plaintiff twenty-three (23)
blowstar packs or its current price resulting from reduction of unit price of
blowstar pack from sixty-eight (68) GH cedis to sixty-five (65) GH cedis.<o:p></o:p>c.
An order for the recovery of the amount of eight thousand GH cedis (GHC
8,000.00) being lost profit from the sale of the balance of the 323 blowstar
packs undelivered by the defendant plus interest of 35.0% from August 2014 to
date of final payment. <o:p></o:p>d.
General and Special Damages for breach of contract.<o:p></o:p>PLEADINGS<o:p></o:p>At the heart of the
plaintiff’s claim is that she paid an amount of thirty- four thousand Ghana
Cedis (GHC34000.00) to the defendant for supply of five hundred 500 “blowstar
packs” (a product manufactured by the defendant) at a unit cost of GHC68. Her
case is that her consignment of 500 blowstar pack was not supplied rather 200
were supplied and the goods were delivered to her by her transporter without
the usual documentation.<o:p></o:p>In its statement of
defence, the Defendant denied the allegation that the Plaintiff paid an amount
of thirty-four thousand Ghana cedis, (GHC34,000.00) to them for the supply of
500 blowstar packs and that the quantity she received was less than the
required quantities she had paid for. In fact, the defendant denied every
material allegation against her. The defendant also claimed that some customers
had colluded with some of their employees to defraud the Defendant by entering
contracts among themselves.<o:p></o:p>After an unsuccessful
attempt at settlement the following issues were set out for trial:<o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Whether
or not the Plaintiff paid into Defendant’s account an amount of GHC34,000.00
for the supply and delivery of 500 blowstar packs on 17/07/2014 or to a third
party?<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Whether
or not the Defendant has delivered all 500 packs to the Plaintiff?<o:p></o:p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Whether
or not the Defendant reduced the unit price of a blowstar pack from GHC68.00 to
GHC65.00?<o:p></o:p><!--[if !supportL</main>
