High Court dated 10th December 2013. The court entered judgment for
the defendant [the respondent herein], having concluded that from the facts as
found, the plaintiff [the appellant herein] had brought the wrong party to
court.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Facts<o:p></o:p>The
plaintiff had pleaded in his statement of claim that the defendant had sold two
plots of land to him in or about August 2001, received the payment of
¢11,000,000.00and issued him with temporary receipts. The land had been
demarcated and an indenture prepared by the defendant which the defendant had taken
to his uncle, one Addo Dankwa for execution and duly executed. Plaintiff
averred that thereafter he gave the defendant an amount of money to have the
document registered at the Lands Registry but he had failed to do so or return
his documents hence the action. The plaintiff further averred that he had put
up two rooms on the land. He claimed the following reliefs in his writ of
summons which was filed on 22nd November 2006:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;
