</div>MARIAMA
OWUSU, J.A:<o:p></o:p>On
19-1-2011, the Fast Track High Court, Kumasi, dismissed the plaintiff’s claim
and entered judgment for the 2nd defendant on her counterclaim.&nbsp; In its judgment, the court held among other
things that:<o:p></o:p>“The evidence adduced by the
2nd defendant and her witnesses clearly demonstrates that she
lawfully acquired the Store No. 18 from its rightful owner Mr. Fynn (1st
defendant) and duly paid GH¢40,000.00 to Mr. Stephen Fynn which said
transaction is evidenced by Exhibit 1.&nbsp; I
accordingly enter judgment for the 2nd defendant on her counterclaim
and hereby decree that ownership of Store No. 18 Railway Quarters is duly
vested in the 2nd defendant, Christiana Osei. <o:p></o:p>The plaintiff, her agents,
assigns, servants and all those who may claim through the plaintiff are hereby
perpetually restrained and or prohibited from in anyway disturbing, interfering
and harassing the 2nd defendant in her peaceful enjoyment of Store
NO. 18 Railway Quarters, Kumasi.<o:p></o:p>I award cost to the 2nd
defendant against the plaintiff assessed at GH¢1,500.00.”<o:p></o:p>Dissatisfied
with the decision of the court, the plaintiff appealed to this court.<o:p></o:p>The Grounds of Appeal are:<o:p></o:p>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
Honourable Trial Court erred when it failed to appreciate and recognize the
fact that it is not the universal practice or custom in all marital homes that
property that is acquired from the sweat and toil of both married couple be
registered in both names.<o:p></o:p><</main>
