member of the Tsie We family which owns a large tract of land situate at
Teshie, Accra.&nbsp; The family has registered
its land and acquired a Land Title Certificate with number GA 14112.&nbsp; The family granted him a portion of the land
in January 2008 and he immediately went into possession of the land by clearing
it, erecting corner pillars and depositing sand and stones on it.&nbsp; He then presented his documents at the
Registration Division of the Lands Commission but he was later informed that
the defendant has also submitted an application for registration in respect of
the same land.&nbsp; It is the plaintiff’s
case that no adjudication has been made by the Lands Commission in respect of
the multiple request for registration.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;</p</main>
