</div>MARGARET
WELBOURNE (MRS.) &nbsp;J.A.<o:p></o:p>BRIEF FACTS:<o:p></o:p>This is an appeal against the Ruling of
the Circuit Court dated 7th December, 2017.<o:p></o:p>The parties became business partners
from the year 2016 per an oral agreement in Kumasi. As part of their business
dealings, it was agreed that after the Plaintiff/Respondent/Appellant had
supplied some drugs to the Defendant/Applicant/Respondent, he should then pay
for the drugs supplied to him by the Plaintiff/Applicant/Respondent, within a
specified time frame; that is three months upon delivery. This agreement worked
perfectly until a subsequent business transaction involving the supply and sale
of drugs by the Plaintiff to the Defendant.<o:p></o:p>After the Plaintiff had supplied drugs worthThirty
Nine Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Six Ghana Cedis, Twenty-One Pesewas (GH₵39,166.21) to the Defendant on 2nd
September 2016, he failed to make good his promise to pay for the cost of the
drugs within the agreed specified time limit.<o:p></o:p>On 5th October, 2017, the
Plaintiff issued a Writ of Summons in the Registry of the Circuit Court, Kumasi,
claiming against the Defendant the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;

Recovery
of the sum of Thirty Nine Thousand One
Hundred and Sixty-Six Ghana Cedis, Twenty-One Pesewas (GH₵39,166.21); being the total amount that
the Defendant is indebted to the Plaintiff which the Defendant ought to have
paid on or before December, 2016 and which he has failed and/or refused to
honour payment despite repeated demands and in spite of the elapse of the due
date of payment.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;
