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

</div>Introduction<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;This court differently constituted gave
judgment in this matter on 13th October 2017.&nbsp; The 1st, 2nd and 5th
defendants have appealed against the judgment to the Court of Appeal.&nbsp; The applicant who was not a party to the said
suit has filed the present motion to set aside the said judgment because it
adversely affects his interest.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Summary
of Applicant’s Submissions<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The applicant describes himself as the
Osabu and Ayiku Wulomo, the head of the Kle Musum Quarter and the Tsie We
family of Teshie and that the subject matter of the judgment complained of is
vested in him.&nbsp; The applicant asserts
that the said judgment injuriously affects him as there are numerous decisions
of our courts from the High Court through the Court of Appeal to the Supreme

July 2009, (Unreported); Civil Appeal No. H1/185/2013, Vincentia Mensah v.
Nuumo Adjei Kwanko II, 12th March 2015, CA (Unreported); Civil
Appeal No. J4/17/2016 Vincentia Mensah v. Nuumo Adjei Kwanko II, 14th
June 2017, SC (Unreported); and Civil Appeal No. H1/148/2014, Hydraform Estate
Ltd. v. Alhaji Bamba &amp; another, 12th March 2015, CA,
(Unreported), amongst others.&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;It is the applicant’s case that the
said judgment has usurped his right as the head of the Tsie We family and his
capacity to sue and be sued in respect of Tsie We family lands and given same
to the co-plaintiff. He also asserts that the Tsie We family had at no time
