EDDIE AKOTEY vs MARTINA AKLOYA

The High Court, presided over by Her Ladyship Justice Cynthia Wiredu, considered an interlocutory application in a pending civil suit after hearing submissions from both counsels. The judge concluded that the Applicant was 'economical with the truth' and had not been candid with the court. On that basis, the court dismissed the application and ordered the Applicant to pay costs of GH¢3000 to the Respondent. The court then issued scheduling directions, adjourning the suit to 19 April 2023 at 10:00 a.m. for trial. The brief ruling signals the court’s emphasis on candor and truthfulness in interlocutory proceedings and confirms the court’s readiness to proceed with the substantive trial.
