RULING<o:p></o:p>

</div>This ruling is in respect of an
application on notice for interlocutory injunction filed by the plaintiff/applicant
seeking an order of this court to restrain the defendant, her heirs,
successors, agents, assigns, workmen and all persons claiming through her from
entering and interfering with the disputed land pending the determination of
this suit.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>According to the plaintiff/applicant,
in February 1997, he bought a plot of land at New Bortianor with footings
thereon from one Stephen Amoah Gyimah (deceased) for GH¢9,500.00. The said
Stephen Amoah Gyimah (deceased) caused a lease to be prepared for him. As a
result of which the plaintiff/applicant went into immediate possession of the
land. The plaintiff then contracted the said Stephen Amoah Gyimah (deceased) to
put up a house on the said plot of land for him. He paid GH¢13,000.00 to
Stephen Amoah Gyimah (deceased) for the construction of the house.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The said Stephen Amoah Gyimah
(deceased) died without constructing the house and the plaintiff got to know of
this after his death. He as a result engaged another contractor to put up the
house and paid an amount of GH¢7,000.00 to him. The new contractor put up the
building up to roofing level.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The defendant then trespassed onto
the land and claimed it to be her late husband’s property. The plaintiff,
therefore, instituted the current action against her claiming the following
reliefs:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Declaration
of title to all that piece or parcel of land situate and lying at New Bortianor
with building thereon covering an area of 0.155acre or 0.63Ha.<o:p></o:p>b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Special
damages of GH¢1,489.00<o:p></o:p>c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Interest
on the said special damages of GH¢1,489.00 from June 2009 till date of final
payment<o:p></o:p>d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
