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

</div>SUURBAAREH,
J.A.:&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>This is an appeal against
the ruling of the High Court, Land Division, Accra, delivered on 14th
November, 2016 in which it refused an application for interlocutory injunction
filed by the plaintiff/appellant, hereinafter called the appellant.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>On
12th July, 2016, the appellant herein, issued out a writ against the
defendant/respondent, simply called the respondent hereinafter, claiming the
following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>“i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Declaration of title to all that piece
and parcel of land situate, lying and being at Kwabenya in the Greater Accra
Region of the Republic of Ghana and containing an approximate area of 173.792
acres or 70.332 hectares which said piece and parcel of land is more delineated
and edged with pink colour on Survey Plan No. X3272.
<o:p></o:p>ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Recovery of possession of the portion
of plaintiff’s land that Defendant has trespassed upon.<o:p></o:p>iii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Damages for trespass.<o:p></o:p>iv.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Perpetual injunction restraining the
Defendant, its agents, assigns, servants, workmen or whoever from disturbing
the quite enjoyment of plaintiff’s land.<o:p></o:p>v.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Cost including legal and administrative
cost.”<o:p></o:p>The
writ was followed the very next day by an application seeking to restrain the
respondent and all persons claiming by or through it from developing the land,
subject matter of the suit, pending the determination of the action</main>
