</div>After the plaintiff company had sold its property
situate at South Labadi Estates to the 1st defendant company herein,
the plaintiff alleged that he had agreed with the 1st defendant not
to pay the withholding tax deducted from the first tranche of the purchase
price to the tax authorities because he had an exemption certificate. According
to the plaintiff, it was given sometime by the first defendant to produce the
said withholding tax exemption certificate. <o:p></o:p>However, when the plaintiff eventually produced the
said exemption certificate, it was informed that the defendant had, contrary to
the agreement, paid the tax deducted to the tax authorities. The plaintiff
company became very furious at the conduct of the 1st defendant. <o:p></o:p>Meetings were therefore held between the parties to
amicably resolve the impasse. At the said meetings, the 1st
defendant, allegedly, made promises to appease the plaintiff; but when the said
promises were not honoured by the 1st defendant the plaintiff issued
the instant action claiming against the defendants as follows:<o:p></o:p>(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Payment of
the sum of USD44, 000.00 or its cedi equivalent at the interbank rates of
exchange on the date of payment being the withholding tax 1st
Defendant deducted from the purchase price of its said property contrary to the
agreement between the parties.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>(b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Payment of
the sum of USD34,000 or its cedi equivalent at Interbank rates on date of
payment being expenses made by the Plaintiff in sensitizing the people in the
community around the property the 1st Defendant purchased from the
Plaintiff.<o:p></o:p>(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Payment of
the sum of USD80, 000 or its cedi equivalent at the interbank rates on the date
of payment being money collected from Plaintiff by the 2nd Defendant
for and on behalf of the management of the 1st Defendant as a
facilitation fee for the payment of monies 1st Defendant owed
Plaintiff.<o:p></o:p>(d)&nbsp;&nbsp; General damages
for the 1st Defendant’s failure to sponsor the TLC-Cup tournament of
2011 and beyond.<o:p></o:p>(e)
