2. Whether the fact that the Defendant “vehemently denied that it entered<br />

into the agreements with the Plaintiff” precluded the court from examining<br />

the issues set out in paragraph 2.2 as having been admitted by the<br />

Defendant and therefore needed no proof;<br />

3. Whether the Learned Trial Judge was right when she held that the true<br />

parties to the contract could only be determined from the content of the<br />

agreement;<br />

4. Whether the Learned Judge was right to hold that without the written<br />

agreements it had no evidence before it to help it determine the issues<br />

raised from the pleadings;<br />

5. Whether the Plaintiff is not entitled to its claim on a balance of<br />

probabilities.<br />

The Appellant also filed a reply on points of law, filed on the 23 rd of March,<br />

2010.<br />

For their part, the Respondent filed Respondents brief of argument on the 6 th of<br />

February, 2010. I notice that Respondent formulated no issues for<br />

determination in their brief. However, Learned Counsel for the Respondents,<br />

Ms. Ida D Drameh, argued replicando the issues raised in the Appellants brief.<br />

I have carefully considered the issues raised by the Appellant, in Appellants brief<br />

and argued by the Respondents in Respondents brief and I find that in as much<br />

as these issues address the grounds of appeal they are however largely<br />

however I prefer to formulate a third issue to wit “whether the Appellants Case<br />

at the Lower Court could have succeeded without the two written agreements<br />
