SUMMARY OF FACTS

The Respondent/Plaintiff sued the Appellant/defendant for the amount of money unpaid and due in respect of a building contract. The Judgement was granted in favour of the defendant at the High Court, hence the appeal.

 

---

HELD

---

The Court held that having regard to the evidence in the case and the concession made by the learned counsel for the appellants, the plaintiff is non-suited on its claim against the defendant.

 

---

ISSUES

---

Whether the trial Judge was wrong in holding that certain letters alleged to have been written to the defendant, the receipt whereof was never acknowledged amounted to an admission of indebtedness on the part of the defendant to the plaintiff.
