The subject matter of this action is property H/No. 10
Jomo street South La Estate Accra. The defendants are in possession. The
plaintiffs are claiming among other reliefs, recovery of possession, and the
defendants are counter claiming for declaration that the property belongs to
the estate of their late father. It is not in dispute that the plaintiff’s
grandfather was the original purchaser but it is also not in dispute that&nbsp; an entire generation of the defendant family
had lived in the property by some arrangements which permitted Joseph Fouad
Chidiack to live in the property and after his death, the property passed on to
Jack Chidiack and after the death of Jack Chidiack the property passed on to
William Chidiack and subsequently to the defendants herein.&nbsp; In order that the plaintiffs recover
possession they must prove their averment that the defendants until now have
been tenants who have been asked to vacate the property after asserting the
title of the plaintiffs and consequently they have instituted this action to
recover their property from the defendants with the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>
