</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The case of the
Plaintiff as captured by their Statement of Claim is that the Plaintiff’s
family is the recognised owner of all that piece or parcel of land known and
called Kwabenya lands.<o:p></o:p>And that the
Defendant is a Limited Liability Company whose Chief Executive is known to the
Plaintiff’s family and has previously obtained grants of land from the
Plaintiff.<o:p></o:p>The Plaintiff
aver that, through its Surveyor, the Defendant approached the family sometime
in October, 2015 for a grant of five (5) plots of lands.<o:p></o:p>And that
despite the understanding of the grant, the Defendant either refused or ignored
to make payment except for paltry payments as deposit towards the acquisition
of the subject matter in dispute.<o:p></o:p>It is the case
of the Plaintiff that the family therefore made several demands for payment and
reduced its demands into writing on 5th September 2016 giving the
Defendant one (1) week ultimatum to pay for the subject matter in dispute.<o:p></o:p>Per the said
notice, the Plaintiff warned the Defendant of its intention to abrogate the
agreement and to refund any monies paid to the family to him.<o:p></o:p>In consequence
thereof, the family re-entered the land and lawfully alienated two (2) plots of
the land to one Nelson Opoku of the Ghana Police Service.<o:p></o:p>The Plaintiff avers
that its grantee was officially given an indenture to signify and confirm the
grant.<o:p></o:p>The said
grantee again went into immediate possession and has constructed a two (2)
storey building thereon.<o:p></o:p>The Plaintiff
say that ever since the grant to Nelson Opoku, the Defendant herein has
interfered with the development of Nelson Opoku despite the fact of the family
warning him and notifying him of their position.<o:p></o:p>The Plaintiff
say that the Defendant has gone ahead to institute an action in the High Court
on the 27th April, 2017 in Suit No. LD/0247/2017 seeking to unjustly
annex its land and also to claim the part alienated to the said Nelson Opoku.<o:p></o:p>Plaintiff says
that its attempt to join the said suit was refused hence this action to
ventilate its claim and to assert its title lawfully over their family land.<o:p></o:p>
