</div>SOWAH,
J.A.:<o:p></o:p>This is an interlocutory appeal
by the 1st plaintiff/appellant against the Ruling of the High Court,
Land Division Accra in which an Order was made for Sampson Odenkey Abbey, the 2nd
plaintiff/respondent herein to be joined as the 2nd plaintiff in the
pending Suit. <o:p></o:p>The Ruling is dated 16th
December 2015 and is at pages 81-82 of the record of appeal. This appellate
court is being prayed to set aside the said Ruling. The grounds of appeal are
as follows:<o:p></o:p>Grounds
Of Appeal:<o:p></o:p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;Bookman Old Style&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;

The
trial Judge erred in law when she granted the application joining the Applicant
as 2nd plaintiff on a purely speculative ground of fear of being
sidelined by the substantive head of family.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><span style="font-size:12.0pt;
