</div>TORKORNOO, J. A:<o:p></o:p>The
1st Defendant (Respondent to this appeal) represented to the Plaintiff/Appellant
that she was able to assist her to purchase land in Ghana for her children who
were resident in Germany. The Respondent represented that she could obtain the
said land from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th
Defendants in the suit at the high court. After giving Ghȼ100,000.0 to the Respondent
to send to the other Defendants ostensibly for the land in South Legon, it
turned out that the 2nd to 5th Defendants could not
deliver the land. First the land shown to Appellant was actually on record as
government land, and second, it was encumbered by a lease to a third party. The
Appellant sued the Respondent for <o:p></o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Ghȼ100,000.00 being the amount
paid to the 1st Defendant as the purchase price of the two (2) plots
of land for onward transmission to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th
and 5th Defendants.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Ghȼ18,000.00 being the money
spent to build and repair the fence wall.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Ghȼ1,200.00.00 spent on land
guards to watch the land.<o:p></o:p>All
the above amounts are to be paid with interest on same at the current Bank
rate.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>d.
