AI Generated Summary

The Supreme Court of Ghana, in a ruling delivered by Azu Crabbe J.A., overruled a preliminary objection to its jurisdiction and granted an application by the plaintiff-appellant for the receiver to comply with the terms of an earlier court order 'forthwith'. The court held that it had the inherent power to fix a time for the performance of an act ordered to be done, even when no such time was fixed in the original order.
