the ruling of the High Court, <a name="_Hlk34588675">Sefwi Wiawso </a>dated <a name="_Hlk33169701">12th December, 2017 granting an order of interlocutory
injunction against the Defendants/Respondents/Appellants and appointing a Manager/Receiver
to manage the cocoa farm in dispute. &nbsp;</a><o:p></o:p>The grounds of appeal are as follows:<o:p></o:p><a name="_Hlk32946296"></a><a name="_Hlk51243262">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
learned trial Judge erred when he</a> granted the application for
interlocutory injunction against the Defendants/Respondents/Appellants.<o:p></o:p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
The
learned trial Judge erred when he failed to take into consideration the
interest and the survival of the widow and children of the deceased.<o:p></o:p><a name="_Hlk36107466">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; From the pleadings and the affidavit
evidence on record it would have been more equitable and just to have refused
