AI Generated Summary

Plaintiff, an oil marketing company, sued defendant to recover GH¢350,528.33 for petroleum products supplied on credit. Defendant admitted the credit arrangement but disputed the debt, claiming it had made several payments not accounted for. After defendant repeatedly failed to comply with court directives, its defense was struck out. The court proceeded with plaintiff’s case in the absence of defendant and its lawyers, finding sufficient evidence on a balance of probabilities to rule in favor of plaintiff. The court granted all reliefs sought by plaintiff, noting defendant’s failure to challenge plaintiff’s claims.
