AI Generated Summary
The Circuit Court presided over by Her Honour Angela Attachie entered a default judgment after confirming that the occupant of a property had been duly served with a writ on 8 March 2023 yet failed to enter appearance or file a defense. On the property owner's counsel's motion, the court granted reliefs including recovery of possession on or after 19 July 2023, an order appointing an expert to inspect and value works carried out on the property pursuant to directives from AESL, recovery of rent arrears totaling GH28,800 for September 2020 to August 2022, continuing rent of GH1,000 for September 2022 to 19 June 2023, payment of outstanding utilities upon vacating, and costs of GH5,000. The ruling is grounded in the defendant's procedural default.
