An order for perpetual injunction restraining the Defendant, his servants,

with the Plaintiff's property in dispute as the Defendant has not got any
defence to the Plaintiff's action upon the grounds set forth in the
accompanying Affidavit. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,serif">The
Plaintiff/Applicant's Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim were duly served
on the Defendant/Respondent on 8th day of December 2006. Upon receipt of the
Plaintiff/Applicant's Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim the
Defendant/Respondent caused his solicitors Messrs Anaglate and Co to enter
appearance on his behalf which appearance was duly entered on 19th day of
December 2006. Thereafter the Defendant/Respondent failed or neglected to file
his Statement of Defence to the action. It must be pointed out that at the time
for the hearing of this motion for judgment, the Defendant/Respondent has not
filed any Statement of Defence to this action. When the Plaintiff/Applicant's
Motion On Notice For Judgment was also served on him, the Defendant/Respondent
failed to file any affidavit in opposition. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;line-height:115%"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Book Antiqua&quot;,serif">The
contention of Counsel for the Plaintiff/Applicant is that the
Defendant/Respondent's grantor was permitted to occupy the premises for three
years and that the grantor also permitted the Defendant/Respondent three years
to occupy same. According to Counsel for the Plaintiff/Applicant the three
years has long elapsed and that the Defendant/Respondent has no defence to this
action. He therefore prays this court to enter judgment in favour of the
Plaintiff/applicant against the Defendant/Respondent. I have carefully read the
Plaintiff/Applicant's Writ of Summons and Statement of Claim together with his
Motion on Notice for judgment and the affidavit in support. I have come to the
conclusion that this application is properly before this Court. In actual fact
the Defendant/Respondent has not shown any cause by an affidavit in opposition
or otherwise why judgment should not be entered against him. I am satisfied
that the Defendant/Respondent has no defence to this action. I therefore enter
final judgment in favour of the Plaintiff/Applicant against the
Defendant/Respondent and order the Defendant/Respondent to yield his occupation
of the rooms he occupies in House No. 21 Block 9 Asokwa New Amakom Extension
Kumasi to the Plaintiff/Applicant forthwith. The Defendant/Respondent his
servants, agents and any person or persons claiming title through him are
perpetually restrained from interfering with the Plaintiff/Applicants property
in dispute. The Defendant/Respondent will pay costs of ¢5,000,000.00 to the
Plaintiff/Applicant.<o:p></o:p></span></p></span></main>
