me is an application for an order to set aside the Notice of Entry of Judgment
filed.&nbsp; The application is premised on
Order 41 Rule 6(1) and Rule 7(1) and Form 17B of the High Court Civil Procedure Rules,
2004, C.I. 47. The foundation of the application is that the Plaintiff/Respondent’s
Notice of Entry of Judgment filed is null and void and same ought to be set
aside together with all other processes emanating from the entry of judgment.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;[2]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; According to the Applicant, on the 4th
day of December, 2017 the Court presided over by my Learned Sister, Sophia
Rosetta Bernasko Essah, J delivered a judgment on the substantive matter and at
the last page of the judgment after her analysis she stated as follows:<o:p></o:p>“I will therefore grant the Plaintiff
special damages for the period of July 2015 to March 2016 only, for hire of
alternative excavator.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff is entitled to damages for
wrongful seizure of the excavators and I will award damages of GH¢15,000.00.<o:p></o:p>Defendant is to refund payments made by
Plaintiff for cost of engine and repair services of the equipment.<o:p></o:p>Defendant is to return the two
equipment ceased within 2 weeks of today.<o:p></o:p>Defendant is entitled to damages for breach
of the terms of the Hire purchase Agreement. I will award damages of GH¢10,000.00.<o:p></o:p>
