15th January, 2018, the Plaintiff issued a Writ of Summons and
Statement of Claim against the Defendants jointly and severally per the
following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An order for the Recovery of Two Hundred and
Fifty Thousand Ghana Cedis (GHC250,000.00) being cost of the KIA Rhino Truck
heavily and severely damaged and to be replaced at the time.<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An order for the Recovery of Commercial
Earning/Income of Ten Thousand Ghana Cedis (GHC10,000.00) per week from May,

articulator trucks – which was refused by the court and an ex-parte motion for
the release of the said trucks – which was granted by the court. The said
ex-parte motion was granted by the court on 5th September, 2019.
Also on October 18, 2019 the court granted an application to set aside the writ
and statement of claim.<o:p></o:p>In
the instant application, the applicants are praying this Court for an order of
stay of execution of the release of the Articulator Trucks pending appeal
