AI Generated Summary

The case revolves around procedural errors in a lawsuit filed by a plaintiff against non-juristic persons. The initial defendants, being employees of Ghana Health Services, were substituted by the Attorney-General's Department—an action found improper under Ghana’s constitution. Further procedural noncompliance, such as failure to amend and serve the writ correctly, rendered the trial a nullity. The appeal succeeded on these procedural and jurisdictional grounds, resulting in the trial court's judgment being set aside.
