Substitution of the omnibus ground for defective grounds of appeal

The circumstances in INTERNATIONAL ROM LTD V. VODAFONE GHANA LIMITED & FIDELITY BANK, are markedly different from the present case before this Court. In the International Rom case, the omnibus ground had not been canvassed at all, unlike in this case where same was canvassed and then abandoned. Furthermore, in the International Rom case, the issue of the inadmissibility or defectiveness of the grounds of appeal was first raised in the Supreme Court, in respect of the grounds contained in the Notice of Appeal filed in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court therefore had the opportunity to at first instance consider same and exercise some discretion or magnanimity.
