</div>F.G.
KORBIEH, J.A.<o:p></o:p>This
appeal emanates from the judgment of the High Court, Fast Track/Automated
Division dated 31/3/2015. It is interesting and also significant to note that
the case is coming to this Court for the second time. When it first came to
this Court (differently constituted) a trial de novo was ordered so the case
went back to High Court for retrial. It is as a result of that retrial that
this current appeal has been launched. So I will start with a recap of the
facts leading to this appeal. On the 14/1/2008, the plaintiff/respondent
(hereinafter referred to as the plaintiff or respondent) filed a writ of
summons against the seven defendants named above asking for the following
reliefs:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>(i)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
declaration of title to a piece or parcel of land (whose boundaries were described)
measuring an approximate area of 37.6 acres at Oyarifa in the Greater Accra
Region.<o:p></o:p>(ii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
declaration that the decision of the 5th defendant to register the
land in her name is fraudulent.<o:p></o:p>(iii)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An
order of possession of all portions of the land the subject matter of this suit
entered upon, purportedly alienated or developed by the 1st-6thdefendants.<o:p></o:p>(iv)
