HMD-FOREWIN GHANA LIMITED vs McTETTEH SAMUEL YEMO

Her Ladyship Justice Ananda J. Aikins (Mrs), sitting in the High Court, determined a procedural motion by the plaintiff/applicant seeking an order of judgment on admission in an employment-related dispute with the defendant. After considering submissions from both counsel and reviewing the parties’ pleadings, the court found that the defendant’s statement of defence expressly denies breaching the employment contract between the parties. In the absence of unequivocal admissions of material facts, the court concluded it would be improper to summarily dispose of the case. The court therefore emphasized that evidence must be led at trial to resolve the issues in controversy between the parties. Accordingly, the application was refused, no costs were awarded against the applicant, and the substantive matter was directed to proceed in the ordinary course to trial.
