The key question for determination
in this application is not entirely novel, yet recondite because the paucity of
decisions of this Court have not settled the question whether or not within the
meaning and effect of Article 129(4) of 1992 Constitution, this Court has the
power to enforce its own judgments and orders without necessarily referring
same to any lower court.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 15pt 54pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">&nbsp;<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; line-height: 115%; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; BACKGROUND

against the Defendant/Respondent/Appellant/ Respondent (hereinafter referred to as “the Respondent”). By this writ, the
Applicants challenged the validity of a letter dated 21st January,
2008 addressed by the executors of the estate of the deceased to the Respondent
authorizing him to enter plot numbers 6 &amp; 7, Airport Commercial Centre,
Accra, the subject matter of dispute (hereinafter
referred to as “the property”) to complete the uncompleted building thereon

the Respondent’s application, the Applicants’ action was dismissed by the High
Court on the grounds that it did not disclose any cause of action against him.
