Division: IN THE COURT OF APPEAL
Date: 3RD MARCH, 1959.
Before: KORSAH C.J., VAN LARE J.A., AND OLLENNU J.
JUDGMENT OF KORSAH C.J.
Korsah C.J. delivered the judgment of the Court:
The only ground argued before us in this appeal is that the judgment is against the weight of evidence. The findings are that the appellant, as a money-lender, did not truly state the principal amounts lent, and the interest charged on two Promissory Notes upon which he grounded his claim; and that he did not give a copy of the promissory note in the second loan transaction to the respondent-borrower.
There is ample evidence on record to support these findings.
In our view the learned Judge’s conclusion that both promissory notes are void and unenforceable under the provisions of section 26 (2) and section 12 (1) of the Money-lenders Ordinance is well founded.
DECISION
We therefore dismiss the appeal.
