</div>MARIAMA OWUSU, J.A.:<o:p></o:p>On
the 29th day of January, 2015, the High Court, Accra dismissed the
plaintiffs’ claims.&nbsp; The 6th
defendant’s counterclaim was also dismissed.&nbsp;
Cost of GH¢10,000.00 was awarded against the plaintiffs in favour of the 1st
to 5th defendants.&nbsp; No cost
was awarded against the 6th defendant.<o:p></o:p>Dissatisfied with
the decision of the High Court, the plaintiffs appealed to the court of Appeal
on the following grounds:<o:p></o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
That the judgment
is against the weight of the evidence on record.<o:p></o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
That the learned
trial Judge erred in holding that the plaintiffs failed to prove their claim of
ownership of the land in dispute and further erred in holding that the land did
not belong to Amidu Butcher.<o:p></o:p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
That the learned
trial Judge erred in holding that the plaintiffs were caught by laches and acquiescence.<o:p></o:p>d.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Further grounds
of appeal would be filed upon receipt of the record of appeal.<o:p></o:p>
