</div>CORAM<o:p></o:p>HIS LORDSHIP JUSTICE
KENNETH EDEM KUJDORDJIE.<o:p></o:p><div style="border-top-width: 1.5pt; border-top-color: black; border-left: none; border-bottom-width: 1.5pt; border-bottom-color: black; border-right: none; padding: 1pt 0in; margin-left: 58.5pt; margin-right: 66.5pt;">

RULING<o:p></o:p>

</div>This is an application to set aside the order of the Court
dated the 16th day of June, 2023 setting aside the order of this
Court dated the 10th day of May 2023 which granted leave to
Plaintiff/Judgment Creditor/Applicant to issue writ of Possession under the
inherent jurisdiction of the court being null and void. On 10th day of May
2023, this court granted a motion ex-parte
for leave to issue a writ of possession in execution of this court differently constituted. Even though the application was moved ex-parte and the order as not executed, the defendants got wind
of the order and caused their solicitor to file a motion to set aside
the order of this court dated 10th
May 2023 which granted leave to
the Plaintiff/Judgment/Creditor to issue writ of possession. The gravemen of
the Defendant/Judgment! Debtor is that application that there is a pending motion for stay of execution filed on 6th
May 2021 and supported claim with a
search conducted at the registry of the High Court, Tamale.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The
Plaintiff/Judgment/Creditor in opposing the motion asserted that the said motion for stay of execution filed by the
Defendant/Judgment/Debtor on 6th May 2021 has been struck out for
want of prosecution on 4th May 2022. He never provided evidence
in support of his assertion. The court in its wisdom set
aside its own order on the 16th day of June 2023 and adjourned the suit to Monday 19th June 2023 for the
motion for stay of execution to be
heard. On 19th June 2023,
the present application was filed
thereby preventing the now famous stay of execution of 6th May 2021
from being heard by this Honourable Court. As expected the
defendant/Judgment/Debtor filed an
affidavit in opposition on 23the June 2023 and subsequently filed another
motion on 23rd June 2023 titled motion on notice for production of
document into Court for inspection </main>
