</div>A.
M. DORDZIE, JSC:<o:p></o:p>This
action is about a piece of land situate at East of Boi village in the Greater
Accra Region. It is particularly described in the schedule to the writ of
summons as “all that piece of parcel of land situate and lying at Boi in the
Greater Accra Region of Ghana and containing an approximate area of 34.658
hectares (85.635 acres) more or less which is more particularly delineated on
survey plan N0 Z5913 and covered by land certificate N0 GA 31351, VOL. 06
Folio138 dated 22nd December 2009”.<o:p></o:p>The
plaintiffs contend they have been in peaceful possession of the property until
the defendants forcibly entered, a few months before the institution of the
action and started selling off portions of the property to third parties. The
plaintiffs therefore instituted an action in the High Court, Lands Division on
the 12th of November 2013 for the following reliefs:<o:p></o:p>a)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Declaration of title to the parcel of land
as described above. <o:p></o:p>b)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Perpetual injunction restraining the
defendants, their agents, assigns, privies, workmen and servants from dealing
with the land in any way detrimental to the interest of the plaintiff.<o:p></o:p>c)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recovery of possession<o:p></o:p>d)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Damages for trespass<o:p></o:p>
