</div>&nbsp;The Plaintiffs are siblings and claimed ownership of the Mercedes
Benz mini bus with registration No. GW 8805-17 which vehicle was seized or
caused to be seized by the defunct Defendant Company Legacy Capital Savings &amp;
Loans Ltd. The Plaintiffs claimed the vehicle was used for commercial purposes
before same was seized or caused to be seized by the Defendant. The Plaintiffs
in an amended writ of summons accompanied by an amended statement of claim filed
on 24th March, 2022 claimed the following reliefs from the Defendant:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;

deliver the said vehicle to the Plaintiffs in its state and form at the time of
the seizure and detention. <o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;

Two Hundred and Fifty Ghana Cedis (GH¢ 250.00) per day with interest at the
prevailing Commercial bank rate from the date of seizure and detention till the
date of final delivery of same to the Plaintiffs. <o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;

and the amended statement of claim were filed the Plaintiffs had initially sued
Mr. Eric Nana Nipah who was appointed a Receiver for the defunct Legacy Capital
Savings &amp; Loans Ltd under Section 127 (1) and (3) (k) of the Banks and
Specialised Deposit Taking Institutions Act, 2016 (Act 930). The proper party
to this suit is the Defendant Company in Receivership. That was the reason for
the amendment. After entry of appearance and having dealt with the interlocutory
applications the Defendant filed a defence in which it denied the Plaintiffs’
claim. <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;AMENDED STATEMENT OF CLAIM <o:p></o:p>In their amended statement of claim the Pl</main>
