ROBERT ODAMTTEN vs. RAPHAEL WUTA-OFFEI AND OTHERS

MARIAMA OWUSU, J.A: On 8-8-2008, the High Court, Accra, dismissed the claims of the plaintiffs in the consolidated suits. In its judgment, the trial court held among other things as follows; “On the whole I find that plaintiffs in both suits lack the requisite capacity to sustain the action filed in this court. I shall accordingly dismiss both suits filed by the plaintiffs in both cases. The property has actually been sold to the 2nd defendant who has paid for it in full. I find nothing to detract from the validity of the sale of the property to 2nd defendant for me to set the said sale aside and I decline to do so.
