Contract law [2023] GHACC 149

Teye Emmanuel Mensah Vrs Abraham Dadson

Teye Emmanuel Mensah Vrs Abraham Dadson [2023] GHACC 149 (25 January 2023)

Court
Circuit Court

The defendant admitted the supply of goods and part-payment, leaving an outstanding balance of GH₵6,208.90. The defendant's claim of set-off fails as the plaintiff did not owe a reciprocal debt, and the goods were seized without the defendant's consent. The plaintiff is entitled to recover the outstanding balance with interest and costs. The defendant's counterclaim is dismissed.

Court
Supreme Court

The retention of the documents by the defendant was lawful as the documents were held as security for debts owed and were returned promptly upon settlement of the debt. The return of a certified true copy instead of the original was acceptable as no unfairness or authenticity issue was raised. There was no basis to disturb the concurrent findings of fact by the lower courts.
