The National Service Construction Department (NSCD) was contracted to build 25 blocks of eight apartments for residential occupation by employees of the President’s office. The NSCD also contracted the Appellant to supply, install, test and commission power supply to the blocks. The Respondent’s obligation, was to supply and distribute electricity into the blocks. The Appellant did the work. The Respondent refused to install the meters and required the Appellant in writing to explain where it obtained the materials for carrying out the project because they had marks for TANESCO; an indication that they belonged to the Respondent. The Appellant’s contention was that the refusal by the Respondent to install the bulky meters was unjustified because it supervised the project throughout, from the time the Appellant started doing the work. The Appellant also felt that it was defamed because the letter that was written by the Respondent was copied to the Client, (NSCD). The Appellant was aggrieved. She filed a suit against the Respondent asking for a declaration that the circumstances for the refusal by the Respondent to install the bulky meters was unreasonable and unjustified and the Respondent should be compelled to install the meters. They also asked for specific and general damages. The High Court, dismissed the suit with costs, hence, this first appeal.
