PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS UNION OF TUC) VS CHIEF LABOUR OFFICER & ORS

In this High Court ruling authored by Her Ladyship Justice Ananda J. Aikins (Mrs.), the court addressed a motion by the 2nd defendant applicant seeking to strike out the plaintiff’s statement of claim. After considering the present application in full, including affidavits filed in support and in opposition, and the submissions made by both counsel, the court further adverted its mind to the pleadings. The court was satisfied that the pleadings disclose triable issues in the case that can only be determined after evidence has been led. Consequently, the court refused the 2nd defendant applicant’s request to strike out the statement of claim. The court awarded costs of GH¢2,000 to the plaintiff against the 2nd defendant applicant, and directed that the matter proceed on the merits rather than be disposed of on a preliminary motion.
