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

</div>Introduction:<o:p></o:p>[1]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The
time has come to talk of many things – of a businessman’s dealings in Tramigo
T23 GPS from Espoo, Finland with the Defendant Company – and of the unstable
dollar exchange rate, the consequence thereof and a surreptitiously recorded
meeting which has become the centerpiece of the litigation – the legal
implication of the recorded meeting and its effects on the parties’ – and whether
the Defendant is liable for the shortfall in the exchange rate the Plaintiff
says he incurred. Those questions arise in this litigation, in which the
Plaintiff claims the Defendant breached the contract between them and therefore
seeks the payment of money and interest thereon.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>[2]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; By
a writ of summons issued on June 15, 2015 the Plaintiff claims against the
Defendant the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>i. Breach of contract.<o:p></o:p>ii. Payment of the sum of US$20,847.20 or
its cedi equivalent; <o:p></o:p>iii. Interest thereon from 14th
July 2014; and<o:p></o:p>iii. Further any other reliefs as may
seem just.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
