</div><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">It is provided under Order 41 rule 7 of the High Court (Civil Procedure)
Rules, 2004, C.I. 47 as follows:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">Drawing up and entry of judgment or order<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 7. (1) The party seeking to have a
judgment entered shall draw up the judgment and present it to the Registrar for
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; entry.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">(2) Where judgment is
presented for entry in accordance with this rule, the Registrar shall enter it
in the book kept for that purpose, file the judgment and return a duplicate of
it to the party who presents it for entry.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (3) An order required to be drawn up
shall be drawn up by &nbsp; the party in whose
favour the order is made, and if that party fails to draw up the order within
seven days after it is made, any other party affected by the order may draw it
up.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (4) The order referred to in sub
rule (3) shall when drawn up, be produced at the registry together with a copy
of it, and when passed by the Registrar the order shall be sealed and returned
to the party who produced it and the copy shall be &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; lodged in the registry.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">The learned author, Kwame
Tetteh, (2011) CIVIL PROCEDURE, A PRACTICAL
APPROACH, at page 862
explained an &nbsp;Entry of
Judgment thus:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">An entry
of judgment is a formal record containing the full details of the judgment
pronounced by the court; without which the judgment cannot be enforced by any
process of execution, even if a consent judgment.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">The Supreme Court also re-echoed this in the case of Republic v Court of Appeal; ex parte Ghana
Commercial Bank Pensioners Association (2001-2002) 1 GLR 502. See also Abireh v Attorney-General (1992) 1
GLR 467. <o:p></o:p>
