</div>A.M DORDZIE JA:<o:p></o:p>FACTS:<o:p></o:p>The
Plaintiff/appellant herein claims he is the son of one C. C. Bedford
(deceased). Until his death the said C. C. Bedford was occupying a room in

same house. He maintains that at the father’s death he became the sitting
tenant of the house; he continues to pay rent to TDC in his deceased father’s
name. Irrespective of that the house had been allocated and sold to the 1st
defendant.<o:p></o:p>By a writ of
summons dated 16th September 1996 the appellant herein sued the
defendants in the Circuit Court Tema for the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A declaration of
title to house number AM 15 Community 7 Tema<o:p></o:p>b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Recovery of
possession of the room occupied by the 1st defendant.<o:p></o:p>c)
