</div>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Introduction:<o:p></o:p>[1]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The
Execution Creditor in this claim being EM Capital Partners caused a Writ of
Summons to be issued against the Defendants herein and obtained a summary
judgment from this Court differently constituted on July 13, 2015 for the
reliefs endorsed on the writ including “an Order for the payment of the sum of
GH¢10, 732.568.68 being the outstanding debt of the matured Corporate Bonds as
at 26th May 2015 to date of final payment”.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>[2]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; In
pursuit of levying execution to realize the fruits of the judgment, the Plaintiff
proceeded to attach the landed property of the 2nd Defendant/Judgment Debtor’s
unnumbered House opposite the Malaysia Embassy in Accra situate at Osu Badu
Street Airport West, Accra on May 13, 2016 to sell and to satisfy the amount of
the judgment debt. From the record, an auction sale was scheduled for January
13, 2017.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>[3]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Against
the background of the execution and the imminent sale on January 12, 2017 the
Claimant, Selina Fatima Owusu who is the wife of the 2nd Defendant/judgment
Debtor in the suit filed a claim that as a lawful wife she has legal and
proprietary rights in the attached property. The Execution Creditor upon being
served with the Notice of Claim filed a Notice of Dispute on January 31, 2017. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>[4]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Upon
a motion filed by the Registrar of this Court, an order was made to enable the
Claimant and the Execution Creditor to appear in Court so that their claim
could be determined. Both the Claimant and the Execution Creditor filed their
respective processes arguing for and against the execution. The claim was
subsequently tried summarily after the Claimant had been made the Plaintiff in
the action with the Execution Creditor being made a Defendant.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>[5]&nbsp;&nbsp;&</main>
