</div>The
root of this suit can be traced to a judgment delivered by the High Court
presided over by my brother Justice Peter Bright Mensah on the 17th day of
January, 2013 in favour of the Defendants herein. The parties in that suit are the same as in this suit. That suit
was Suit No. BL/746/2005. The Defendants therein traced their title to the Odai

was delivered, the Plaintiffs in Suit No. BL/746/2005 have yet again mounted

present action is that the judgment of the
High Court in Suit No. BL/746/2005 was obtained by fraud.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The
gravamen of the Plaintiffs’ action may be found in paragraphs 21, 22, 23, 24,
26, 27 and 28 of the statement of claim. They have been stated as follows:<o:p></o:p>“21. Plaintiffs contend that the said Moses Tawiah representing Odai Ntow family
