BERNICE ARMOO VS FIRST ATLANTIC BANK LTD

This ruling from the High Court, delivered by Justice Ananda J. Aikins (Mrs.), addresses a motion for further orders in an ongoing civil matter. The applicant sought two forms of relief: leave to amend the pre-trial check list, and the issuance of a subpoena directed to Benjamin Sarfo-Kantaka. The Court undertook a review of the motion paper, the supporting and supplementary affidavits, and the respondent’s affidavit in opposition, and heard submissions from both counsel. After assessing the materials and arguments, the Court concluded that the application lacked merit. On that basis, the Court refused both requests. The succinct ruling underscores that procedural amendments and compulsory process will not be granted absent a persuasive showing, even where affidavits and submissions are filed, and that motions lacking merit will be denied.
