RULING<o:p></o:p>

</div>&nbsp;The
plaintiff claims his land from a sublease from La Hillsview Development Ltd
dated 4th October
2013. The said La Hillsview
Development Ltd also got its land from the
Trustees, East Dadekotopon Development Trust (the Trust). The defendants claim their land from the Ataa Tawiah
Tsinaiatse family (represented by Edward Mensah Tawiah) and Nuumo Ofoli-Kwashie
family (represented by Ewormenyo Ofoli Kwashie) all of La. The defendants have brought this
application seeking to dismiss the suit on the ground that it is an abuse of
process and also per the decision of the High Court presided over by Ofori-Atta
J. in Edward Mensah Tawiah and another<o:p></o:p>v.
The Acting Chief Registrar of Lands and another, Suit No. BL431/2006,
the plaintiff as a privy of the Trust is estopped from re-litigating the
issues.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The
plaintiff is opposed to the application and he has claimed that the said suit
was not between the parties in the present
action but was entirely between
different parties.<o:p></o:p>The plaintiff further asserts that his land is different or far removed
from the land the
subject matter of the said suit.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;From the affidavit evidence and the arguments made
by Counsel, the following facts stand
uncontroverted:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:14.5pt;margin-bottom:
