The 1st Defendant filed an application to set aside the default judgment but the Court dismissed the application as unmeritorious and expressly found that the 1st Defendant did not establish any grounds to warrant setting aside the default judgment, having failed to utilize the repeated opportunities given to it to defend the matter. On the 24th of November 2014, the Registrar of this Court issued and served a Writ of Execution on the 1st Defendant. The Plaintiff through his Counsel wrote to the 1st Defendant demanding payment of the Judgment debt and compliance with order of this Court but the 1st Defendant failed, refused and/or neglected to obey the orders of this Court. Following the failure of the 1st Defendant to comply with the decision and orders of this Court, the Applicant instructed his Ghanaian Counsel to file an application before the High Court of Accra, Ghana seeking an order of that Court to enforce the decision and orders of this Court. The High Court of Ghana dismissed the Plaintiff’s application in its ruling delivered on 2nd February 2016 on the grounds that the decision of the ECOWAS Court cannot be enforced by the Court in Ghana because the Republic of Ghana has not domesticated the Protocols of the ECOWAS Court of Justice. Subsequent to the decision of the High Court of Accra, Ghana refusing to enforce the judgment of this Court, the Plaintiff addressed a petition to the 17th Defendant and copied the 16th Defendant wherein he urged them to impose the sanctions prescribed in Article 77 of the ECOWAS Revised Treaty on the 1st Defendant for the refusal to comply with the decision and orders 4
