</div>&nbsp;POKU-ACHEAMPONG,
J.A.:<o:p></o:p>We have before us, my lords, an Interlocutory Appeal against
the ruling of a Kumasi High Court dated 17th December 2021.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The facts of the case are quite simple and straightforward.
They are in respect of two plots of land near the Kumasi Airport to which the
Plaintiff claims ownership and therefore asked for a declaration of title to
same, perpetual injunction to restrain the Defendant and a recovery of
possession.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;In his writ filed on 3/9/21 the Plaintiff claimed the
following specific reliefs against the Defendant:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;
mso-add-space:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:150%;
mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:306.75pt 321.0pt">(a)&nbsp;&nbsp;
A declaration that the defendant’s conduct in
making an ingress and engaging in deep excavation and construction on a portion
of the plaintiff’s land known and described as Plot Nos 53 Block “T” and 54
Block “T” Akrom, Kumasi without the knowledge, authority and consent of the plaintiff
is trespassory, unlawful and an infraction of the plaintiff’s legal rights as
the owner of the said two plots.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:
.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:
150%;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:306.75pt 321.0pt">(b)&nbsp; General,
special, punitive and exemplary damages for the monumental illegality of the defendant.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:
.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-18.0pt;line-height:
150%;mso-list:l1 level1 lfo1;tab-stops:306.75pt 321.0pt">(c)&nbsp;&nbsp;
An order of perpetual injunction restraining
the defendant, its agents officials, privies and persons or entities acting on
its behalf and/or at its direction from in any manner continuing the patent
illegality.<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:
