S. SITTIE (MRS)<o:p></o:p><div style="border-top-width: 1.5pt; border-top-color: black; border-left: none; border-bottom-width: 1.5pt; border-bottom-color: black; border-right: none; padding: 6pt 0cm 1pt;">

JUDGMENT<o:p></o:p>

</div>Plaintiff
took this action against the Defendants who carry on the business of Real
Estate for an order for specific performance or in the alternative payment of
the current value of the land among others. Plaintiff said she entered into a
contract for sale with 1st Defendant (who held itself out at all
times as the beneficial owner of the land) for the purchase of 6 plots of land
covering an approximate area of 0.96 acre situate at Prampram. The total price was GH¢72,<o:p></o:p>000.
Plaintiff said it was agreed that GH¢50,000 was to be paid upon execution and
the balance of GH¢22, 000 to be paid over ten months. The term of the proposed
lease was for a period of sixty (60) years with an option to renew for a
further term of thirty-nine (39) years.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff
said she fulfilled her part of the agreement and paid all the sums due and was receipted. Plaintiff said the final instalment was paid on 19th December 2015. Plaintiff said when 1st
Defendant brought a draft agreement for her consideration she raised issues
with 1st Defendant’s transfer of its interest to 2nd
Defendant. Plaintiff said this change required an amendment of the draft
Agreement which Defendants sent to her by email.
Plaintiff said Defendants had always given her the assurance that Defendants’ title deeds
were being registered at the Lands Commission. Plaintiff said subsequently she
received a text message on 30th June 2016 (a day originally set for
a meeting between the parties) to the effect that the agreement
with Defendants had been terminated and the GH¢72, 000 she paid to Defendants had been credited
to Plaintiff’s account at Barclays
Bank. Plaintiff therefore
claims the replacement value of the land which Plaintiff places in excess
of GH¢300,000.<o:p></o:p>Defendants </span</main>
