</div><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>The Plaintiff, Nii Kotey Amli III, is
the head and the lawful representative of the La Klannaa Quarter. By a number
of judgments emanating from the Circuit Court, High Court and Court of Appeal,
the said Quarter, according to the Plaintiff, has been adjudged the owner of La
Bawaleshie-Otele lands, also known as, East-Legon. By a lease dated 25th
November 2002, the Plaintiff’s family granted a parcel of land situate at Otele
to the 1st Defendant for a term of fifty (50) years. The Plaintiff
claims that, without his family’s consent, the 3rd Defendant has
assigned his interest in the land in dispute to the 2nd Defendant
and the 2nd Defendant has also put up a storey building on the land
in dispute, which is being occupied by the 3rd Defendant. Plaintiff
maintains that the purported assignment of the land in dispute by 1st
Defendant to the 2nd Defendant is a nullity as the consent of his
family was not sought before the transaction. He therefore alleges that the
presence of the 2nd and 3rd Defendants on the land in
dispute constitutes a threat to his family’s reversionary interest in the said
land and is also an act of trespass. Plaintiff therefore prays for the
following reliefs;<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A
declaration that the land described in the schedule contained in the statement
of claim forms part of La Bawaleshie-Otele lands, property of the Plaintiff’s
family.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Recovery
of possession of the land, subject matter of the suit.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Damages
for trespass.<o:p></o:p>
