RICHARD APIETU (J) <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 0cm; margin-left: 4.5pt; margin-right: -2.5pt;">

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

</div>This is a Ruling on an
Application for an order to remove some items seized in execution, for stay of
execution and leave for payment by instalment.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;I have read the Application, the supporting Affidavit and further Affidavit in support of the Application. I
have also read the Affidavit in Opposition. I have also given consideration to the Written
Submissions filed by Counsels for and against
the grant or otherwise of the Application.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;I have noted that the Judgment
Debtor was served
with Judgment in default of Defence
and Entry of Judgment. However, he did not take any steps to dispute the Judgment. I have
also noted that the Judgment
Debtor is disputing the Judgment Debt. Meanwhile,
he is asking this Court to make an order for him to pay the Judgment Debt by
instalment. I have further noted that he has not stated the amount he owes.
However, he is praying this Court to
stay execution. The question is,
what is the Court staying? I have
also noted that the prayer by the Judgment Debtor to remove some items seized
in execution is clearly alien to the rules and practice of this Court.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;I am therefore of the
considered view that this application is misconceived and same ought to be dismissed and is dismissed accordingly. Cost of GH¢2,000.00 is awarded in favour of the Execution/Creditor
against the Execution/Debtor.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;
