JUDGMENT<o:p></o:p>

</div>K
.A. ACQUAYE, J.A.<o:p></o:p>This
judgment is in respect of an appeal lodged against a judgment delivered by a
High Court in Accra, in respect of two consolidated suits on 21st
day of January 2010. <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>In
the first suit, the plaintiffs/respondents, through their lawful attorney,
issued a writ of summons claiming against the defendants/appellants:.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A declaration of title to a parcel of land
containing an approximate area of 0.15 acres being at Kwashieman in Accra as
described in the site plan attached.<o:p></o:p>2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Perpetual injunction restraining the
defendants from interfering with the plaintiffs’ quiet enjoyment of the said
land.<o:p></o:p>3)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Damages for trespass against the
defendants.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>In the second suit, the plaintiffs/respondents issued a
writ claiming in addition to the claims in the first writ a claim for
declaration of title to house number B 916/33, Awoshie, Accra.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The attorney of the plaintiff who testified on behalf
of his principals tendered the power of attorney created in his favour in
evidence which was admitted as exhibit A.&nbsp;
He told the court that he went to the Land Title Registry in 2001 with
his father’s indenture and site plan to register the subject matter of this
suit in the name of his father who died on 14th August 1990.&nbsp; At the Land Title Registry he was informed
that the 1st defendant had registered the land in the name of the 1st
defendants father Ebenezer Adolphus Sackey.&nbsp;
The attorney testified that it was his father Albert Lakotey Quaye who
built the house on the land in which he has lived since 1977.&nbsp; He complained that the 1st
defendant had used the house to secure a loan from the 2nd defendant
hence his claims.&nbsp; The attorney admitted
under cross-examination that on 19th March 2004 an auctioneer called
Aryee and Court Bailiffs came to eject occupants of an adjoining house but he
has since set aside the judgment the 1st defendant obtained in that
suit.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>
