20. I am advised by Counsel and I believe same to be true that the injunction applications
filed by the Counsel for the Respondents against the 1•• Plaintiff are all based on the
alleged establishment of a non - existent IMC.
21. I am further advised by Counsel and believe same to be b'ue that from the motions filed
11
by Counsel for the Respondents on 3rd January 2024 and 11 January 2024, there is the
false representatJon that a three member IMC has been constituted with Mrs Juliet Osei
- Wusu, Mr, David Ablnl and Mr Isaac Ackun as Its members.
22. I am infonned by Counsel and I believe same to be true that on 5th October 2023 the

Mrs. Juliet Osei - Wusu as a

representative on the IMC until further notice.
A copy of the letter from the Director of the Ministry of

26. I am further informed by Counsel and I believe same
to be true that, with the exception
of Mrs Juliet Osei - Wusu, the other members of the allege
d IMC, namely Mr David Abini
and Mr Isaac Ackun are employees of or associated
with BCM Ghana Ltd, a company
by Paul List, the estranged husband of Angela List (the

strike out the respondents' moUon on
Counsel flied a motion on notice for an order to
on 3rd January 2024 C-Motlon to Strike
notice for an order of interlocutory Injunction filed
Outu) on the following grounds:
to hear the Respondents' motion.
a. The Honorable Court does not have jurisdiction

Page 10 of 14
b. The motion is procedurally irregular because it is an attempt to enforce or vary the
orders made by this Honorable Court on 27th July 2023, contrary to the Rules of
Court.

c. The motion is otherwise an abuse of court process.

38. I am further informed by Counsel and I believe same to be true that this Honorable Court
th
on the 15 of January 2024 adjourned the hearing of the Motion to Strike Out to 19th
February 2024 to deal with the application and the substantive injunction application.
39. I am advised by Counsel and I believe same to be true that the order of this Honorable
Court moving the hearing of the Motion to Strike Out to 19th February 2024 continues to
st
hinder the 1 Plaintiff from lifting gold and puts the 1st Plaintiff Company on the brink of
imminent collapse.

40. I am advised by Counsel and I believe same to be true-·that the injunction applications
have beq:,me tools to mislead the public that the 1st Plaintiff Company is under: the
control of an IMC when no such IMC has been constituted.
41. I am further advised by Counsel and believe same to be true that the pendency of the
st
injunction and contempt applications against third parties and employees of the 1
st Plaintiffs suppliers and business partners to cease
Plaintiff company is causing the 1
to deal with the 1st Plaintiff Company when Israel Ackah Esq. knows that the injunction
orders of 27th July 2023 did not retrospectively cancel, terminate, invalidate or suspend
st
the 1st Plaintiff's contractual obligations or third party's contractual obligations to the 1
Plaintiff.
42. I am informed by Applicant's officers and I believe same to be true that the 2nd
Defendant/Respondent is not a functional entity and will not be in a position to
compensate the 1st Plaintiff for the humongous losses that the 1st Plaintiff will suffer if its
management staff (not the directors who are the subject of the injunction ruling of on 271h
July 2023) are disabled from running the operations of the 1st Plaintiff pending the
establishment of an IMC.
43. In the circumstances, I am advised by Counsel and I believe same to be true that
considering the serio.us damage the Respondents' pending interlocutory and contempt
applications are causing the 1st Plaintiff Company, it is in the interest of justice that this
Honorable Court urgently come to the aid of the 1st Plaintiff Company so that regardless
of the outcome on the merits of the case, the successful party an the Government of
Ghana will not go home with an empty company.
