of a crane by the plaintiff from the defendant
is what has brought this matter
to court. It is the plaintiff’s case that it entered into an agreement with the defendant for the installation,
correction and maintenance of a tower crane for use at the plaintiff’s construction site at a total cost of fifty seven thousand
United States Dollars (US$57,000.00) for a period of
three months. The plaintiff avers
that the parties agreed that the plaintiff would pay an initial deposit of
US$19,000.00 before the movement of the crane to the plaintiff’s site and the
rest of the money being US$38,000.00 would be paid after the successful
installation of the crane at the plaintiff’s construction site.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;It
is the plaintiff’s case that it paid the initial deposit of US$19,000.00 and
spent an additional amount of twenty six thousand seven hundred and fifty Ghana
cedis (GH₵26,750.00) to prepare the ground for the installation of the crane.&nbsp; The defendant, according to the
plaintiff, in accordance with the terms of the agreement, moved the crane to the plaintiff’s construction site and started installation of the crane.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;
