</div>&nbsp;M. WOOD (MRS), JA&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;In this
appeal against the judgment of the High Court, Accra, delivered on 21st
June 2016, the Plaintiff/Appellant seeks the setting aside of the aforesaid
judgment.<o:p></o:p>This case involved two consolidated suits on the
land involving two different parties. The second case was struck out for lack
of capacity of the person suing as attorney on behalf of the claimant of the
land who resides outside the jurisdiction. The Plaintiff/Appellant (hereafter
will be referred to alternately as the Plaintiff or the Appellant). <o:p></o:p>THE CASE OF THE PLAINTIFF/APPELLANT<o:p></o:p>The
matters that have given rise to the instant appeal are as follows:<o:p></o:p>The Plaintiff instituted an action against the
Defendant on 19th May 2004 which was later amended on 26th
JULY 2004 and further amended on 15th January 2010 for the following
reliefs:<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;a. A
declaration of title to all that piece of land situate lying and being at
Kisseman in Accra and covering an approximate area of <st1:metricconverter productid="0.92 Acre" w:st="on">0.92 Acre</st1:metricconverter>.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp; b. Recovery
of possession to the said land.<o:p></o:p>c.<span style="font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-feature-settings: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
