Ex-nat’l service personnel to pay GHC 6,000 in case against ex-banker boss, boyfriend
The new development follows an application filed by lawyers for First Atlantic Bank Ghana, asking the court to review the writ and exclude it from the case.
An Accra High Court has struck out First Atlantic Bank as a party to the suit filed by an ex-national service personnel of the bank, Deborah Seyram Adablah, who sued her former boss and boyfriend.
The court therefore awarded cost of GH¢6,000 against Adablah.
The new development follows an application filed by lawyers for First Atlantic Bank Ghana, asking the court to review the writ and exclude it from the case.
The bank, which was joined to the suit as 2nd defendant was accused of allowing senior officers to enter into relationships with unwilling subordinates while using the females as baits to win customers for the company.
The case has meanwhile been fraught with several interim applications from both parties - Adablah’s lawyer has filed an application asking the court to set aside its previous order asking her to hand over a car to the court’s registry, while Ernest Kwasi Nimako, the first defendant, has filed an application to commit Adablah for contempt.
Substantive suit
In the suit filed in January this year, the plaintiff, Deborah Seyram averred inter alia that her ex-boss and boyfriend bought her a car for GH 120, 000 but fixed a car tracking device in it and even stopped the car one time when she was driving in the middle of the road and later brought policemen to her house to take the said car after which she got possession of it.
Additionally, she notes that the defendant true to his words rented a 2-bedroom accommodation at a rental value of GHC1500 a month for her but paid only the first year leaving the outstanding 2 years' rent.
Also, she averred that the defendant started paying the agreed monthly allowance of GH3000 until July 2022 when they started having differences.

An order that the defendant pays her a lump sum money to enable her to start her own business as agreed
Pay the remaining two(2) years' rent for her accommodation or pay the same amount for the remaining 2 years for an alternative accommodation
To pay the outstanding arrears of her monthly allowance of GHC3000 from July 2022 till the date of judgment
