IVY VANDERPUIJE (PSA) FOR DEFENDANT/RESPONDENT<o:p></o:p>

</div>CORAM<o:p></o:p>HIS LORDSHIP JUSTICE RICHARD
APIETU<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;">

JUDGMENT<o:p></o:p>

</div>I have perused the
Affidavit of Richard Khimson of Accra, the Deponent herein filed on 20th January 2023, in support of Motion
on Notice for Summary Judgment. I have heard the submissions of Rosamond
Awurabena Atta-Kesson Esq., Counsel for and on behalf of the Applicant herein.
I have noted that even though on 24th January 2023, the notice of
the Application for Summary Judgment
was served on the Defendant, the Defendant up to today 2nd March
2023, has not filed any Affidavit in Opposition. I have also heard the
submissions of Ivy Vanderpuije (PSA),
Counsel for and on behalf
of the Respondent that she
is not opposed to the Application.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;It is my view that the Plaintiff/Applicant’s claim is clear and
the Defendant/Respondent has not set up a bonafida defence to the claim neither
has the Defendant/Respondent created a situation indicating that there are
triable issues between the Defendant/Respondent and the Plaintiff/Applicant. In the circumstances, the Application<o:p></o:p>for
summary Judgment is hereby granted
as prayed.<o:p></o:p><h1 style="margin-left:336.05pt;line-height:115%">&nbsp;</h1>
