CONCORD OIL LIMITED v. KWAME GALLANT

Her Honour Angela Attachie of the Circuit Court granted a motion by counsel seeking judgment in default of appearance after the defendant failed to attend. The court entered default judgment against the defendant and ordered recovery of One Hundred and Seventeen Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢117,000.00), together with interest at the prevailing bank rate from 27th July 2022 until final payment. Costs of GH¢5,000.00 were also awarded. Although liability was determined by default, the court adjourned the matter to 19th June 2023 for damages to be proved, signaling that quantification of certain damages would require further evidence. The brief order reflects a procedural disposition grounded in the defendant’s non-appearance, addressing principal recovery, interest, and costs while reserving the assessment of damages for a later hearing under the court’s supervision.
