</div>The
plaintiff herein obtained judgment against the defendant. By way of execution
of the judgment, the plaintiff caused to be attached a Toyota Avalon salon car
with Chassis Number 4TBK1EB2EU131560 which was parked in the garage of the
defendant who deals in cars. Thereafter, the claimant, Abdul Aziz Faisal,
caused a Notice of Claim to be filed on his behalf in which he laid a claim of
ownership to the attached vehicle. The parties were therefore invited, after
the plaintiff had disputed the claim of the claimant, to appear in court to be
heard accordingly. The claimant gave evidence at the trial and closed his case.
The plaintiff did not give evidence.<o:p></o:p>From
the evidence on record the court finds that the claimant lives and works in the
United States of America. There is undisputed evidence on record that the said
vehicle was imported from the United States of America into Ghana by the
claimant in this matter in November 2017.Exhibit A which was tendered by the
claimant herein shows clearly that the said vehicle was imported by the
claimant who also paid the customs duty on same The court finds from the
evidence on record that the defendant was introduced to the claimant as a
person who deals in cars and according to the claimant he sent the car to the
defendant for the defendant to sell the car for and on his behalf.<o:p></o:p>Although
the plaintiff, through his lawyer, tried to introduce evidence during cross
examination that the defendant subsequently caused the car to be registered and
insured, the plaintiff failed to give evidence to prove the registration and
the insurance which the defendant had caused to be undertaken in relation to
the car in question. Thus, there is no evidence on record which contradicts the
testimony given by the claimant and the court has therefore no basis to
disbelieve the evidence given by the claimant.<o:p></o:p>The
court therefore finds that the vehicle in question is the property of the
claimant and that it does not belong to the defendant against whom the
plaintiff had recovered judgment. The court holds therefore that the vehicle in
question cannot, in law, be attached in satisfaction of a judgment obtained by
the plaintiff against the defendant in this matter. The court therefore hereby
orders the release of the said vehicle, forthwith, to the claimant. There will
be no order as to costs. <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>
