</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>On the 23rd day of July,
1999 the Plaintiff instituted the instant action for herself and also for the
sister Ivy Adotey, in her capacity as a daughter and lawful co-administrix of
the estate of her late mother, Elizabeth Fofo Mensah.<o:p></o:p>It is the case of the Plaintiff that
the land in question belongs to their late mother Fofo Mensah who acquired it
per a Deed of Conveyance dated 26th June, 1972 and made between her
as beneficiary of the one part and Kofi Noi Lartey (as vender) and Wilson Gbli
Nartey (as purchaser) on two other part.<o:p></o:p>And that on the advent of the Land
Title Registration Law, she caused her deceased mother’s interest in the land
to be registered as No. 7/14/105/1 and was issued a Land Title Certificate (No
GA 10028) dated 18th January, 1994.<o:p></o:p>It is also the case of the Plaintiff
that the Defendant had trespassed upon and built an outhouse on a portion of
the said plot of land and had for some time successfully used one Margaret
Lartey who lives nearby the said plot of land and a certain S. O. Asante who lives
in the outhouse to hide her identity from the Plaintiff.<o:p></o:p>Based on these facts the Plaintiff
claims the following reliefs against the Defendant:<o:p></o:p>i.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
A
declaration of title to all that piece or parcel of land in extent 0.05 (0.140
of an acre) more or less being Parcel No. 105 Block 14, Section 7 situate at
Kotobabi in the Greater Accra Region of the Republic of Ghana.<o:p></o:p>ii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Recovery
of possession of the said land.<o:p></o:p>iii.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
General
damages for trespass.<o:p></o:p>
