</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>Plaintiff’s claim<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The plaintiff sues
as the administratrix of the estate of her late father Emmanuel Stephen
Bulley.&nbsp; It is her case that the father
in his lifetime owned a parcel of land situate at Mile 10-11, New Weija which
he acquired in 1964 from the James Town Stool acting by its then paramount
chief Nii Adja Kwao II. When her father acquired the land, he went into
immediate possession, erected corner pillars and constructed a building on part
of the land. Her father later registered the documents covering the land and
was given the Land Registry Number 1945/1972.&nbsp;
<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The plaintiff
asserts that upon the death of her father on 3rd February 1998, she
subsequently applied for and was granted Letters of Administration by the High
Court, Accra on 29th May 2015 to administer the estate of her late
father. After that, she vested the property in herself by a Vesting Assent duly
executed.&nbsp; The plaintiff asserts that the
defendant who is her maternal sister has trespassed on the land in dispute and
has put squatters on part of the land and she has refused to eject the said
squatters despite representations made by the plaintiff to the defendant to
that effect.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The plaintiff
asserts that the defendant will not cease her activities on the land unless
restrained by this court.&nbsp; The plaintiff
therefore, by a writ of summons issued on 14th June 2018, claims the
following reliefs against the defendant:<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-top:0cm;margin-right:0cm;
