JSC:-<o:p></o:p>In this application, the applicant seeks the leave
of this Court, pursuant to Article 132 of the Constitution, 1992 and rule 62 of
the Supreme Court Rules, 1996, CI.16 to apply, out of time, to invoke the
Supervisory jurisdiction of this Court. The application was filed on the 29th
June 2023.<o:p></o:p>The applicant says in paragraph 5 of the
supporting affidavit that summary judgment, exhibit ‘EA’ herein was entered by
the High Court, Tarkwa on the 12th day of December, 2022. The
application for summary judgment was served on the applicant on the 7th
December 2022. An alleged search conducted on the 30th April 2022

of the supporting affidavit is very strange to this Court in that I find it
humanly impossible for a search to be conducted on 30th April 2022
in respect of proceedings which occurred in December 2022. I think it is the
product of lack of care by the lawyer in the drafting of the supporting
affidavit.<o:p></o:p>The complaint of the applicant is found at
paragraph 9 of the affidavit and that is that the applicant had only two (2)
clear days’ notice of the application for summary judgment before it was heard
and granted by the</main>
