for an order to set aside the Order of this Court differently constituted dated
December 15, 2020 which substituted Gifty Nartey for Charles Fiifi Ocansey
(deceased) the original 2nd Plaintiff in this case and for a further order of
substituting Teresa Ocansey for Charles Fiifi Ocansey. The application was
filed on 10th February, 2023 and is supported by the affidavit and
supplementary affidavit of Christian Hammond sworn on 10th February, 2023 and
March 13, 2023 respectively. <o:p></o:p>&nbsp;[2]&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The pith and substance of the application
is that Madam Gifty Nartey is neither a beneficiary of the Will, the subject
matter of the suit which is on appeal nor has she been instructed by the
beneficiaries. It is also contended that the written submission filed by Gifty
Nartey through her Counsel “is contrary to the case put forward by the father
of the Applicant in the High Court”. As a result of the foregoing, the
Applicant contended that should Madam Nartey be allowed to remain a party, the
interest of the beneficiaries of the estate of Charles Fiifi Ocansey stand to
suffer by her actions.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;[3]
