</div>HENRY
KWOFIE JA:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>This is an appeal against the ruling of the
High Court Tema dated the 13th November 2018, by which the learned
trial Judge refused to dismiss the plaintiff’s suit and ordered the
defendants/appellants to file their statement of defence within 14 days.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The brief background to this appeal is that the
plaintiff/respondent issued a Writ of summons on 10th of April 2018
against 5 defendants including the 1st defendant/appellant for the
following reliefs:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
declaration that the 3rd defendant had breached the arrangement with
the plaintiff which caused the plaintiff to guarantee on her dealings with the
1st defendant<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Declaration
that there has not been any properly conducted sale of Commercial property
(Plot No. TC/MKT/A/30) Tema Town Centre and any purported claim of the said auction
is false and fraudulent.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Declaration
that the purported sale and auction is void voidable wrongful and not proper.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
An
order setting aside any purported auction of plot No. TC/MKT/A/30 Tema Town
Centre <o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Perpetual
Injunction to restrain the defendants howsoever their beneficiaries, their
assigns, privies and agents and all such persons deriving interest from the
defendants from dealing, interfering or seeking delivery of possession of the
property until the determination of the suit<o:p></o:p>
