<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Edusei, J.</strong>: The plaintiff company has sued the defendant company which is based in Taiwan for ยข200,000.00 being commissions due to the plaintiff company for promoting the business of the defendant company in Ghana. The defendant company entered appearance under protest, and later filed an application to dismiss the plaintiffs' action on the ground that there is no reasonable cause of action against them. Again it is stated in the motion paper that the plaintiffs' action against the defendant is vexatious and frivolous.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the meantime, the president and director of the defendant company who was in Ghana to do business at the time the writ of summons was issued and served on him was arrested on an absconding warrant and was granted bail with three sureties in the sum of ยข200,000.00. The president-director of the defendant company is known as Shaw Cha-Chin or George Shaw.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In the course of his argument, counsel for the defendants, contended that the plaintiff company is not known in Ghana โฆ</p>
