font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,serif">According to the plaintiffs, by a letter
dated 1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1th November 2019, the
defendant wrongfully terminated the child care services of their son, P.K Baah,
with effect from January 2020. Plaintiffs' case is that the said termination of
child care services for their son was wrongful because their son did not commit
any wrong to warrant such treatment. Furthermore, the plaintiffs deny the
defendant's allegation of lack of cooperation by 1st plaintiff with defendant
in providing child care services for their son and contend that the 2nd
plaintiff who did not commit any wrong against the defendant was also affected
by defendant's decision to terminate child care services for their son.
Plaintiffs further claim that they were not given the opportunity to address
any issue that may have caused the termination of child care services for
their” son and have been put to considerable trouble and inconvenience in
looking for another school for him. They therefore pray for the following reliefs;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
