</div>&nbsp;I have listened
to the submissions for and against the application for the grant of Summary Judgment
for the Plaintiff/Applicant (hereinafter called the Applicant) against the
Defendant/Respondent (hereinafter called the Respondent).<o:p></o:p>I have gone through the documents filed in this
application. The purpose of Summary Judgment under Order 14 of C.I. 47 is to
allow a plaintiff to obtain judgment summarily without necessarily going
through trial in a situation where the Defendant is not able to set up any
bonafide defence.<o:p></o:p>Generally, in summary judgment, the Plaintiff’s
claim should be clear on the face of it. The Defendant should have been served
with the Plaintiff’s writ, entered appearance and either filed a defence or not.
Also, the Plaintiff claim should be clear and unimpeachable.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;See: YARTEL BOAT BUILDING CO V.

V SALIFU [2009] SCGLR 586<o:p></o:p>Summary Judgment serves a
useful purpose when nothing would be gained by a full scale and possibly, long-winded
trial when there are no triable issues before the court.<o:p></o:p>See: SAM
