</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Defendant
through its lawyer &nbsp;filed a motion on
Notice for an order of the court dismissing the suit on ground of estoppel
per&nbsp; rem judicature,&nbsp; being statute&nbsp;
barred and vexatious and abuse of court&nbsp;
process based on Order 11 rule 18 a, b and c and on the inherent
jurisdiction of the court.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Parties
filed written arguments. Based on the arguments the court has come to the
decision that the whole application is incompetent. This is because it is not warranted
by the rules.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>

One
must plead the defence of estoppel per rem judicature as well as the statute of
limitation and set&nbsp;&nbsp; them down as issues
for trial for the court to direct on the way the issues raised would be tried as
a preliminary point of law for trial in the action. See the case of Infitco
Company ltd vrs. Frigo Ltd suit no. J4/08/2019 dated 20th March,
2019 unreported. Application is therefore dismissed on that basis. Cost of
GH¢2,000.00 against Defendant/Applicant &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></main>
