ALEX MORRIS vs GEORGE AFRAM

Justice Emmanuel Amo Yartey considered a procedural application in which the Plaintiff/Applicant sought leave to file a witness statement. The Court noted that the application had been duly served on the Defendant, who did not oppose the relief sought. On the strength of the evidence of service and the absence of any objection, the Court granted the application. In exercising case-management discretion, the Court ordered the Plaintiff/Applicant to file the witness statement within five days. The order underscores routine civil case administration: properly served, unopposed applications are ordinarily granted, and courts may set firm timelines to ensure procedural compliance and the efficient progression of the matter.
