 </div>WELBOURNE, JA<o:p></o:p>This instant action is an appeal against the ruling or
decision of the High Court Sunyani, delivered on the 5th day of November, 2018.<o:p></o:p>By the said ruling, the learned trial Judge stated as
follows:-<o:p></o:p>“In view of the
fact that the affidavit ought to have been commissioned by the Registrar and
which was not done, I will take it that it was a mistake from the Registry
especially taking into account that the Registrar subsequently commissioned
Plaintiff’s copy. In the circumstance I will accept the affidavit and hold that
it is hereby regularized. I do so taking into account that no useful purposes
will be served if it is struck out only for the Claimant to come back, which
will only work to further delay the hearing of the matter. The order for the
Claimant to file the Writ stands.”<o:p></o:p>Aggrieved by this ruling the Plaintiff has appealed to
this Honourable Court on the grounds set out below:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>GROUNDS OF APPEAL<o:p></o:p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,serif;
