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

</div>

The
Plaintiff, Abbey Rahman Wahab, is a businessman who lives at Abeka Lapaz,
Accra, while the Defendant, Ben Tete Bamfo,
is an architect who lives at Bawaleshie in Accra. The facts of this case are that the Plaintiff and the Defendant acquired
leases of substantially, the same parcel of land located at
Kokrobite in the Greater Accra Region, from a common grantor, the Nii
Arde Nkpa Family of Plerno.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

Before
the Plaintiff executed his lease on the land in dispute on 3rd August 2003,
the Defendant had already executed a lease in respect of the same parcel of
land in February 2003 with the same grantor family.
The Plaintiff subsequently presented his document
to the Lands Commissions for
stamping and registration and has since obtained a land title certificate on which he relies, in addition to other pieces of evidence,
to establish his claim to the land in dispute. In their pleadings, the parties recounted
their modes of acquisition of the land in dispute, as well as acts of
ownership that they had exercised
over the said land until the instant dispute arose.<o:p></o:p>
