</div>AVRIL LOVELACE – JOHNSON (JA)<o:p></o:p>The High Court on 26th
July 2012 gave judgment in this matter by which it refused the Plaintiff/Appellant’s
claims for<o:p></o:p>1. As against 1st and 2nd Defendants jointly and
severally Specific&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Performance of the said Agreement<o:p></o:p>2.
Damages for breach of contract in lieu of or in addition to <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Specific Performance <o:p></o:p>3.
General Damages for trespass against the 3rd Defendant.<o:p></o:p>4.
An order setting aside the purported Sale of the Land in dispute <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to the Co-Defendant<o:p></o:p>5.&nbsp; Perpetual Injunction restraining 1st
and 2nd Defendants from <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; conveying the land to any other person
apart from Plaintiff and <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; further Order directed against all the
Defendants to desist from <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; dealing directly or indirectly with the
land which has been sold <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; to Plaintiff&nbsp; in a manner adverse to the legal and
equitable <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; interest acquired by the Plaintiff in the
land<o:p></o:p>The court rather entered
judgment for the Co-Defendant/Respondent on his counterclaim for title to the
land as a bona fide purchaser for value and vested title of the land in dispute
in him. <o:p></o:p>Being dissatisfied with
this judgment, the Plaintiff /Appellant has launched the present appeal on the
following grounds<o:p></o:p>1. The judgment is against
the weight of evidence.<o:p></o:p>He later filed the
following additional grounds, the first two of which this court was asked to
consider abandoned since they were not going to be argued.<o:p></o:p>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
