AI Generated Summary

Tradex Resources Foundation sought to have its bank account unfrozen after GH105,000.00 was withdrawn under a garnishee order absolute. The companys affidavit claimed that, following a 30 July 2021 judgment, its liability was limited to auctioneers fees and interest totaling roughly GH44,068.76, resulting in an overpayment. Justice Comfort Kwasiwor Tasiame reviewed the 2021 orders and found they required more comprehensive refunds, including GH176,675.00, auctioneers fees of GH13,370.00, and interest at the Bank of Ghana lending rate from March 2015. The court noted that the purchase price of GH191,000.00 had been released to William Quartey acting for Tradex Resources Foundation in litigation involving Neil Hammond & others, and emphasized that corporations act through agents whose acts bind the company. Citing Dalex Finance & Leasing Co. Ltd v. Amanor and Adisa Boya v. Zenabu Mohammed, the judge rejected technical objections, held that the judgment debts remained unpaid, and dismissed the application with costs of GH2,000.00.
