The appellant, Stoner Liberia, Inc. (Stoner), requests this Court to review and reverse the ruling entered by the Justice in Chambers, denying the petition for the writ of prohibition filed by the appellant against the conduct of Judge Eva Mappy Morgan of the Commercial Court of Liberia. We are to determine whether the Justice’s ruling is erroneous and reversible as a matter of law as alleged by the appellant.

The undisputed facts as revealed by the records are that on July 3, 2018, the Co-appellee Ecobank Liberia Limited (Ecobank) filed an action of debt by attachment against the appellant Stoner before the Commercial Court of Liberia, alleging that the appellant Stoner is indebted to it in the sum of US$946,787.04 (Nine Hundred Forty-six Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty-seven Dollars Four Cents United States Dollars); that this amount derived from a loan facility secured by the appellant and which loan the appellant had failed to liquidate in full and in keeping with the agreement executed between the parties. The Co-appellee Bank prayed the court to adjudge the appellant liable and order it to pay the said amount.
