November 2014 by which the claims of the plaintiff were dismissed in its
entirety and costs awarded against the plaintiff.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The

the following reliefs: (See pages 8-10 of the Record)<o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The order of the court compelling
defendants to account for all proceeds from the past 4 years on plaintiff's
palm plantation.<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Recovery of possession of all that
whole farmland with palm plantation situate lying and being at Sukusu near
Asamankese and bounded as follows: on one side by the property of Samuel
Kwakye, other side by the property of Okona and on the other side by MAAME
ABENA KORAMA and on other side by Adantam stream which was given to 1st
defendant to cultivate and account for the proceeds to be shared between
parties but for the past 4 years failed and is now accounting to 2nd
defendant without any reasons.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The
case of the plaintiff was that the whole farmland in dispute had been gifted to
him in or around 1976 by his late mother. That he was cultivating the farmland
until he left Ghana in or around 1980 but from 1996 had been making remittances
to his mother to care for the farm for him. The 1st defendant had
been employed as caretaker and was accounting to his mother until sometime
after her deathin 2009 when the 1st defendant diverted accounts to
the 2nd defendant who is unlawfully claiming possession of the farm.
