The Ho High Court has ordered Central Aflao Hospital to pay GH¢5,000 in costs. This happened because the hospital tried to submit changes to its defense late.
The court made this decision during a medical negligence case. The family of a deceased caterer filed the lawsuit.
Justice Rosemarie Afua Asante presided over the court.
The lawsuit was brought by the family of Linda Adua, who was a caterer. Her family claims medical negligence led to her death.
The hospital's request to amend its defense was considered too late by the court.
The fine is for the costs associated with the late amendment. This means the hospital has to pay for the extra court work caused by the delay.
The main case regarding the alleged medical negligence is still ongoing.
