</div>BRIGHT MENSAH JA:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The High Court
(Commercial Division), Accra after trial of the case the subject of the instant
appeal, delivered its judgment on 28th day of May 2020 and dismissed
the claim of the plaintiff/appellant herein.&nbsp;
It is against the judgment of the lower court that this appeal has been
launched on the grounds listed here below.&nbsp;
That is to say:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:
0in;margin-left:.75in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-align:justify;
text-indent:-.5in;line-height:150%;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo1">i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The judgment is
against the weight of evidence.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:
0in;margin-left:.75in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-align:justify;
text-indent:-.5in;line-height:150%;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo1">ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The judge erred in
law when he ruled that on a holistic interpretation<o:p></o:p>of parties’ agreement,
plaintiff/appellant did not live up to the <o:p></o:p>purpose and intendment of Exhibit A when as required under the<o:p></o:p>agreement and industry
practice plaintiff/appellant sold all e-cash
purchased from defendant to various MTN subscribers.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:
0in;margin-left:.75in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-align:justify;
text-indent:-.5in;line-height:150%;mso-list:l6 level1 lfo1">iii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The learned judge
erred when he found that plaintiff/appellant engaged in round tripping using
related entities when in fact no <o:p></o:p>evidence of return of e-cash back to defendant was
established. <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;<p class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:
