Testament of the late Edward Kabu Otoo dated 9th February, 1944 the
late Gederah Tei Otoo, Joseph Kabufio Otoo, Tetteh Nkunor Otoo, Edward Kabu
Nkunor Otoo Elijah Kabu Otoo and Nartey Tawiah Otoo were the beneficiaries of
the income from the properties at Achimota, known as the Mobile Service Station

by and dissatisfied with the said judgment, the defendants filed a notice of
appeal dated 17th December, 2009 as follows:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; “a&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The judgment is against the weight of
evidence.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;b&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Further
grounds shall be filed on receipt of judgment and <o:p></o:p>proceedings.”<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Pursuant
to leave granted by this court, the defendants file additional grounds of
appeal on 8th February, 2012 as follows:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Additional
Grounds<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <o:p></o:p></main>
