</div>&nbsp;Counsel for 1st Respondent has filed affidavit
in opposition. It has been served on the Applicant’s counsel. Counsel for both
parties have prayed the court to rely on the submissions filed and give its
ruling in accordance with Order 25 Rule 1(6) of CI 47.<o:p></o:p>I have gone through the application for
injunction filed by the Plaintiff/Applicant (hereinafter called the Applicant)
in this case. I have also gone through the pleadings filed so far, as well as
the exhibits attached to the application and the affidavit in opposition to the
application. <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;It is trite law, that injunction can be granted
under Order 25 of CI 47 either before, during or after a case. In granting or
refusing an injunction, the factors which the court will consider are balance
of convenience and whether it would be fair and just to grant or refuse the
application. It can also be granted or refused where the party against whom it
is granted can be compensated at the end of the case.<o:p></o:p>See: ODONKOR AND OTHERS V AMARTEI
