</div>ASSESSMENT
OF DAMAGES AGAINST THE DEFENDANT UPON AN INTERLOCUTORY JUDGEMENT<o:p></o:p>This action was commenced per writ
issued outside the jurisdiction pursuant to Order for leave granted by court.<o:p></o:p>The plaintiff is a limited liability
company incorporated under the laws of Ghana and is a manufacturer of Standing
Seam Roofing Panels in Ghana. The defendant is a Canadian registered company
and deals in Color Coated Aluzinc coils.<o:p></o:p>According to the plaintiff by email
correspondence the defendant offered and the plaintiff accepted the sale of 200
tons of top quality Color Coated Aluzinc coils as per commercial invoice number
12[1]071 and 12[1]090.<o:p></o:p>Upon the supply of the said 200 tons of
coil by the defendant, plaintiff manufactured Standing Seam Roofing Panels and
installed them for their customers in Ghana.<o:p></o:p>Instead, according to the plaintiff, of
the sheets retaining their long lasting beauty and good protection against the
elements, as promised by the defendants, customers begun to complain about
fading and rust occurring to the sheets the plaintiff manufactured out of the
200 tons of coil received from the defendant.<o:p></o:p>Upon reverting to the defendant on
these complaints, the defendant, according to the plaintiff recommended
respraying of the roofs in issue, with the agreement that the defendant was
going to supply from Canada various color paints for the respraying. However,
the defendant, according to the plaintiff has failed to do this, leading to the
plaintiff having to respray roofs for customers who accepted this compromise at
its own cost, while customers who rejected this compromise have obtained
judgement in one instance against the plaintiff. <o:p></o:p>Having particularized its loss and damage,
the plaintiff has sued the defendant for: <o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
