</div>&nbsp;Adolphus
Tawiah Welbeck sued the Defendant on the 17th July
2015. However, while the action was pending he died on 14th July, 2016
whereupon Seth Welbeck applied and was duly substituted, the cause of action
having survived the death of Adolphus Tawiah Welbeck. Plaintiff claimed that he
acquired the property in dispute from Emmanuel Sampong Banfo and the acquisition is evidenced by an indenture, a document dated 15thNovember 1988, executed between
the vendor, Emmanuel
Sampong Banfo on one hand and Plaintiff on the other hand.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Having
acquired the property, Plaintiff took steps to register it with Lands
Commission and accordingly the property has duly been plotted and pursuant to
Land Title Registration Law, 1986 (PNDCL 152), the intended registration of the
property was duly published
resulting in the issuance of land title certificate No. GA 48733
dated 26th November, 2015.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Plaintiff
described the Defendant as a trespasser, claiming that he has entered a portion
of the Plaintiff’s land and doing business thereon under the name and style “Joevera Casket Enterprise”. Plaintiff
contends that unless the court intervenes the Defendant will not discontinue
his trespassory acts, hence the institution of the suit whereby Plaintiff
claims:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;a.An
order for declaration of title to all that piece or parcel of land situate
lying and being at Sabon Zongo, Accra and described in the schedule contained
in the indenture dated 15th November, 1988 same of which is covered by the Land Certificate No. GA 48733
dated 26th November
2015;<o:p></o:p>b.
