The Plaintiff had filed a suit in the High Court Commercial Division against the Defendants for relief for breach of contract. The Defendants were jointly defended by the Attorney – General, who is also the 3rd Defendant. In their joint defence, the Defendants raised preliminary objection contending that the suit was incompetent for want of territorial jurisdiction. In a reply to the Written Statement of Defence, the Plaintiff raised an objection that the verification clause does not disclose the name of the person verifying in the Written Statement of Defence. The main issue before the Court was whether or not the preliminary objections raised by the parties had merits.
