the trial court I consider the invitation by the Appellants to resolve the question<br />
of the parties to the agreement, the alleged breach and alleged damages, on the<br />
premise of the evidence led, an invitation to speculate on the terms of the<br />
agreements. It is trite learning that a court cannot speculate on the contents of<br />
a document not before it. We therefore refuse to be enticed into engaging in<br />
that exercise.<br />
It is by reason of the totality of the foregoing, that I cannot fault the Learned<br />
Trial Judge on the findings made conclusions reached at the trial nisi prius. I<br />
have no reason to disturb the said findings and conclusions.<br />
I will affirm the decision of the Learned Trial Judge and dismiss this Appeal. This<br />
appeal accordingly stands dismissed. Appellants shall pay Respondents costs of<br />
D75, 000.00, (Seven-five Thousand dalasis).<br />
