</div>&nbsp;LOVELACE-JOHNSON JSC:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The designation of the
parties at the trial court will be maintained in this appeal. The plaintiffs
obtained a summary judgment against the defendant at the high court in this
suit on 20th December 2017. The court delivered itself in part as
follows:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;“I will accordingly grant
the application for summary judgment and further grant leave for the plaintiff
to recover the GHc 1,004,747.70 together with interest at the commercial bank
rate from January 2014 till date of final payment”<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The court also assessed
costs at 7% of the above sum.<o:p></o:p>The matter before us was
activated by the attempt by the plaintiffs to execute the judgment by
attempting to attach House No 04800375- 10 NNK 04, Ashalley Botwe in
satisfaction of the judgment obtained.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;One Kingsley Adomako
(claimant) the husband of the Defendant, filed a notice of claim to the property in question. The plaintiffs in reaction filed
a notice of dispute after
which the claimant also filed an affidavit of interest.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The court ordered both the
plaintiffs and the claimant to appear before it. After conducting a hearing
into the matter, the high court made two findings to the effect that the
property in question was solely owned by the claimant and also that until there
is a divorce the property of a husband cannot be attached for the debt of his
wife. Consequently the court ordered that the property in question be released
from attachment.<o:p></o:p>
