AN ACCRA Commercial Court presided over by Justice Barbara Ackah-Yensu yesterday dismissed an application by the Attorney-General for a review of a GH¢500 cost awarded to Alfred Agbesi Woyome, the self-styled  NDC financier, who is at the centre of GH¢51.2million judgment debt payment.

The cost was awarded to Woyome due to the state’s inability to commence hearing of the case in which it was contesting with Woyome to retrieve a GH¢51,283,480 judgment debt paid to him.

The judge dismissed the application after observing that no good reason was given by Dorothy Afriyie Ansah, the state attorney, as to why it should be reviewed.
