</div>&nbsp;&nbsp;1]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; PARTIES<o:p></o:p>The plaintiff is a business woman who lives in Kumasi;
1st defendant is a brother of one Donatus Paul deceased, while 2nd
Defendant is the surviving spouse of the late Donatus Paul.<o:p></o:p>2]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; FACTS OF THE CASE<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Plaintiff’s case<o:p></o:p>3]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The plaintiffs’ case is that she is a
business woman who imports bales of second hand clothing from the United
Kingdom for sale in Ghana. According to the plaintiff, she got to know the late
Donatus Paul from the 1st defendant with whom she had been doing business
for over 15 years. Plaintiff claims that on 15th October 2015, she
supplied the late Donatus Paul with second hand clothing worth £153,977 out of
which he paid £97,958 leaving a balance of £56, 019.&nbsp; Plaintiff claims that it has come to her
notice that the late Donatus Paul was buried on 10th November 2018
and yet defendants have made no attempt to settle the deceased’s debt owed her.
Plaintiff further claims she has been reliably informed that the deceased left
behind properties including monies which are in the custody of 2nd defendant.&nbsp; She therefore prays the court to order the
defendants to pay her the Ghana cedi equivalent of £56,019 with interest
thereon.<o:p></o:p>4]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1st
Defendant’s Defence <o:p></o:p>
