The missing docket from the Ashanti New Town Magistrate’s Court, reported by the Ghanaian Times newspaper last Friday has been found.
A clerk at the court confirmed the resurfacing of the missing document but would not give details.
The case docket reportedly went missing from the court’s registry when Mark Bunde, a journalist was in the process of applying for a writ to attach the car and other movable property of his employers to an original suit.
Bunde, had filed a suit at the court to compel his employers, Nana Akosua Oforiwah and Nana Gyambibi, operators of Dove FM, a local radio station in Kumasi to pay him his enticement fee and salary from July 2006 to January 2007.
The court presided by Mr. Frank Owusu Afriyie, on July 17, ordered two employers to pay Bunde an amount of GH¢3,390 (¢33.9 million) but that was not done.
It was at that juncture that Bunde applied for a writ to attach certain property of the employers but surprisingly the docket on the case could not be found.
This development stalled the case for almost a month until the newspaper publication.
In the statement of claim, Bunde said six months after his appointment as a newscaster on August 30, 2006; his salary had not been paid.
He therefore cause, his counsel to write to his employers to pay him his salary but they failed to do so.
The employers after receiving the letters on two occasions barred him from entering the premises of the radio station and that caused him to resort to the court action.
