</div>&nbsp;On 3rd
November, 2015, Plaintiff caused the Writ of Summons to issue against defendants jointly and severally. On the 24th November, 2017, the Plaintiff filed an Amended Writ of
Summons pursuant to leave of the Court upon an application by the Plaintiff. The reliefs as endorsed on the Amended
Writ were declarations of
Plaintiff’s ownership based on possession
of three (3) plots of land
being at East Adentan (Ajangote), Accra containing an approximate area of 0.324
acre and 0.16 acre respectively. It may be sharply observed that even though
Plaintiff claimed ownership to three plots of land only two were described.
However, it was upon reading the Amended Statement of Claim that I got the
impression that the land first described as having an approximate size of 0.324 acre
consists of two plots while
the third plot is
the land described as having the size of 0.16
acre.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Apart
from the declaratory reliefs, Plaintiff also sought perpetual injunction to
restrain the 1st Defendant by himself, his agents, workmen, hirelings, privies,
assigns and/or any person claiming through or under him from interfering with
Plaintiff’s quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the two plots mentioned and described.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Plaintiff
sought in addition damages for trespass and an order setting aside the registration of Plaintiff’s two plots of land mentioned and described in the name of 1st Defendant.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Lastly,
