</div>AVRIL LOVELACE-JOHNSON (J
A):<o:p></o:p>This is an appeal against
the judgment of the High Court sitting at Tema dated 19th July 2017
on the following grounds<o:p></o:p>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
Learned trial Judge erred when he stated at page 3 of the Judgment that “a
court of competent jurisdiction has adjudged the Tema property as joint
property of the Defendants”<o:p></o:p>ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
Learned judge erred when he stated at page 5 of the judgment that having
divested her interest in the Tema property Plaintiff in turn disposed of her
interest in the property to the 2nd Defendant.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>iii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
Learned Judge erred when he stated in paragraph 6 of the judgment that the
construction of permanent structure on the Land meant that the Plaintiff had
disposed of her interest<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>iv.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
Learned Judge erred when he stated in paragraph 7 when he stated that grounds
rets paid to Tema Development Corporation were ever paid from monies provided
by the Plaintiff and therefore she could not be said to be the owner of the
property<o:p></o:p>
