AI Generated Summary
Justice Nicholas M. C. Abodakpi of the High Court entertained an ex parte post‑judgment garnishee application under Order 47 of C. I 47/04. Noting evidence of a valid judgment, entry of judgment duly filed and served on the judgment debtor, and the debtor’s failure to pay, the court considered Rule 1, which allows a judgment creditor to target third parties holding funds of the debtor. Concluding the case was proper for a Garnishee Order Nisi, the court directed the Managing Director of Bank of Africa (Farrar Avenue, Accra), the Chief Director of the Ministry of Roads and Highways, and the Chief Director of the Ministry of Finance to be personally served and to appear to show cause. A hearing notice was ordered, and the matter was adjourned to 7 November 2018 for proceedings to make the order absolute.
