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

</div>On the 8th of
February, 2023, this Court made a ruling upon an application and disjoined one Eric Forson
who until then was listed
as the 2nd Defendant in this action.<o:p></o:p>The Plaintiff/Applicant herein
dissatisfied with the decision filed an interlocutory appeal on or about the 23rd February, 2023. Pursuant to the
said notice of appeal, the Plaintiff again filed the instant
application on the 9th of
March, 2023 praying
the Court to stay proceedings in the case pending the hearing and determination of the interlocutory appeal. In support of
the motion, the Plaintiff/Applicant filed a 16 paragraph affidavit in support.
Of particular importance and for purposes of putting the case of the Applicant into perspective, I quote hereunder paragraphs 7 through
12 of the Affidavit in Support and as follows;-<o:p></o:p>“7.&nbsp; That I am advised by
Counsel and verily believe same to be true that being dissatisfied by the
Ruling of the Court, the applicant would like to exercise its full legal rights
to have that decision reviewed by the Court of Appeal and for that appellate
Court to pronounce on same before this suit continues, in order not to prejudice the effective adjudication of the applicant’s full allegations and claims before this court as well.<o:p></o:p>
