mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:
&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The defendant requests the Court
for an order directed at the plaintiff for the production and preservation of
vehicle with registration no. GE 9634-17 which is in the Plaintiff’s
custody.&nbsp; The defendant also requests for
an order for the inspection of the condition of the said vehicle after same has
been produced by the plaintiff before the vehicle is preserved pending the
final determination of the substantive suit. <o:p></o:p><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,serif;
mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:
&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The defendant says the said
Pajero vehicle is the subject matter of its counterclaim against the plaintiff
and that the continuous use of the vehicle by the plaintiff with its attendant
wear and tear will impact negatively
on the vehicle.<o:p></o:p><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,serif;
mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:
&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The plaintiff has opposed this
application on the ground that he has an interest in the vehicle because he has
been making monthly payments to the defendant for the said vehicle in
accordance with the terms of the agreement between him and the defendant (Exhibit
‘A’). The plaintiff says he has so far made payments to the tune of Fifty One
Thousand, Three Hundred and Thirty-Three Ghana Cedis and Twenty-Six Pesewas (GH<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Cambria&quot;,serif;

mso-fareast-font-family:Calibri;mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;mso-bidi-font-family:
&quot;Times New Roman&quot;;mso-fareast-language:EN-US">The Court has considered the
affidavits of both parties and the submissions of both counsel and the Court is
of the opinion that the application is to be granted. This is because the plaintiff
can easily be compensated by way of damages for whatever contributions he has
made towards the purchase of the vehicle in contention. The vehicle being the
subject matter of the defendant’s counterclaim, is thus to be preserved pending
the final determination of the substantive suit. The Court also grants the
request of the defendant for an independent expert to inspect the vehicle
immediately same is produced by the plaintiff. This inspection is to be done
prior to the preservation of the vehicle. The costs for the preservation and
inspection are to be borne by the defendant and the vehicle is to be preserved
at a garage of the defendant’s choice.<o:p></o:p><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,serif;
