Counsel:J. K. YEBOAH ESQ. FOR APPLICANT PRESENT WILLIAM AKWETEY BONSU ESQ. FOR RESPONDENTS PRESENT

This Court has heard Counsel for the Applicant and perused the motion and the facts stated in support. The main reason for not acting within the time prescribed by the rule is that Applicant did not seek legal advice timeously.

I am of the view that this is not good enough reason to attract a favourable exercise of this Court’s discretion, the motion is dismissed. No cost awarded.
