</div>The
Plaintiffs herein instituted the instant action in their capacity as the Administrators
of the Estate of Rudolph Numo Baddoo after they had been granted Letters of
Administration de bonis non by a Kumasi High Court. By their initial writ of
summons issued on 18/05/2012, and subsequently amended on 06/06/2014, they
claimed the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A declaration that Plot Numbers 4 and 5,
Block 11, Bompata, Roman Hill, Kumasi which belonged to the late Rudolph Numo-Baddoo
forms part of the Estate of Rudolph Numo Baddoo.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An order of perpetual Injunction
restraining Defendants by themselves, servants, agents, assigns, workmen or
however described from holding themselves out as owners or administrators of
the said Plot numbers 4 and 5, Block 11, Bompata Roman Hill, Kumasi or seeking
to deal with same in any way.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;
iii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An order directed at Defendants to account
for all expenditure incurred and income generated from the management of Plot
Numbers 4 and 5, Block 11, Bompata Roman Hill, Kumasi beginning 1991 to date of

their respective amended statements of defence filed on 07/08/2015 pursuant to
an order of the court dated 05/08/2015,&nbsp;
the 1st and 2nd Defendants denied the Plaintiffs
claims.&nbsp; The 1st &nbsp;Defendant then counterclaimed as follows: <o:p></o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A declaration that the Plaintiffs are bound
by the agreement dated 8th March, 1993, and made between the family and Linda
Nsiah Ababio ( the developer)<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A declaration that the building put up by
the 1st and 2nd defendants was gifted to them by the late Rudolph Ichbod A.
Numo-Baddoo's&nbsp; children absolutely.<o:p></o:p>
