INTRODUCTION<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

I have had the opportunity of reading, in draft, the lead
judgment of my learned sister, Amma Gaisie, JA. While I am in agreement with her conclusion, I wish to express my own
views on some of the issues arising for determination in this appeal.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

BACKGROUND<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

The background facts of this case have been comprehensively
discussed in the lead judgment. As
stated therein, this is an appeal against the Interlocutory Ruling of the High
Court dated 15th
July 2022. The trial Judge
having heard arguments in respect of the Respondent’s Application to refer the
ma[er to arbitration, held that there was no legal reason to refuse the
application and consequently referred the matter to the Arbitrator.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

At the court
below, the Appellant claimed against the Respondent:<o:p></o:p>
