</div>WELBOURNE
(MRS.) J.A.<o:p></o:p>This is an appeal against the ruling of the
High Court, Sunyani dated 27th January, 2017.<o:p></o:p>The Grounds of Appeal as stated on pages 71
and 72 of the Record of Appeal are as follows:<o:p></o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
trial judge erred in law in refusing the application for amendment of the Plaintiff/Applicant/Appellant
on the ground that it would amount to pleading evidence and not material facts.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
trial judge also erred in refusing the application for amendment of the Plaintiff/Applicant/Appellant
on the ground that the amendment being sought is not material to the
formulation of a cause of action or a defence.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
trial judge also erred in refusing the application for amendment of the Plaintiff/Applicant/Appellant
on the ground that it would over reach the 3rd Defendant/Respondent/
Respondent or prejudice his case.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
judgment and the ruling are against the weight of evidence.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>e.
