AI Generated Summary

Ceco Engineers Limited filed suit against the Government of Ghana to recover GH₵ 2,496,089.93 for various road construction projects, including interest on delayed payments and costs. The defendant confirmed the contracts but suggested an audit to determine the exact amount owed. The court corroborated the plaintiff’s claims, making slight adjustments to amounts, and ruled that interest on delayed payments would accrue 90 days after Interim Payment Certificates (IPCs) were raised. Costs were set at 8%. The legal principles affirm entitlement to payment for executed contracts, the calculation of interest after 90 days, and fair assessment of litigation costs.
