November 2012, the Plaintiff/Appellant in this matter issued a writ of summons

of all that Plot No. 219 Block E Sector 2, Wenchi.<o:p></o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; General Damages for trespass.<o:p></o:p>c.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; An order of perpetual injunction
restraining the Defendants, their agents, workmen, assigns from howsoever
interfering with the Plaintiff’s title and possession of the said plot of land.<o:p></o:p>After entering Appearance, the 1st
Defendant/Respondent included in their joint statement of defence a
counterclaim for <o:p></o:p>a.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Damages for the water tank, cement
blocks and structure put up by the 1st Defendant on the disputed
plot which the Plaintiff has destroyed.<o:p></o:p>b.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Costs.<o:p></o:p>At the end of the hearing, the learned
