</div>TANKO AMADU J.A<o:p></o:p>(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
This appeal lies from the ruling of the
High Court (Land Division) Accra dated the 5th day of June,
2015.&nbsp;&nbsp; The crucial issue for
determination in the appeal is not novel. It turns on whether or not the Court
below acted correctly when upon application by the Respondent herein, it
proceeded to set aside the consent judgment of the parties founded on their
terms of settlement.<o:p></o:p>(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
BACKGROUND FACTS:<o:p></o:p>The facts giving rise to this appeal are
not in dispute.&nbsp; They have been
adequately set out by the Trial Court in its ruling on appeal.&nbsp; For purposes of a better appreciation, I will
set out the background facts in brief.&nbsp; In
Suit No.FAL/95/10, at the Court below the Plaintiff/Appellant (hereinafter
referred to in this judgment as the ‘Appellant’)
sought to recover from the 1st Defendant/Respondent the following
reliefs:-<o:p></o:p>(i)Recovery
of possession of land being part of the land covered by<o:p></o:p>Land
Title Certificate No.GA/22/409 trespassed by 1st Defendant.<o:p></o:p>(ii)An
order expunging the registration of the lease dated 14th <o:p></o:p>November
2007 registered at Koforidua as Deed Number EA/5135 and serial Number
1045/2008.<o:p></o:p>(iii)A
perpetual injunction restraining the Defendants, their servants,<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;&nbsp;assigns
and whatsoever from entering upon, dealing with, or interfering in any manner
