YAW DARKO ASARE, JA<o:p></o:p>

This
is an appeal against the Ruling delivered by the High Court, Kumasi dated the
22nd of February 2022 which upheld the
Defendant/Applicant/Respondent’s application for an order to strike
out the Plaintiff/Respondent/Appellant’s suit on grounds
of abuse of due
process under the provisions of Order 11 Rule 18 (1) (d) of the High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules, 2004 (C.I.
47).<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

The
Plaintiff/Respondent/Appellant (hereafter referred to as the Appellant) was the Plaintiff
in an earlier suit numbered
C4/08/19, before the District
Court, held at Asokwa-Kumasi, whilst the Defendant/Applicant/Respondent
(hereafter referred to as the Respondent), was the Defendant in the said suit.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

The
claim in the earlier suit was for, inter alia, an order to eject the Defendant (Respondent herein) from Plaintiff’s (Appellant herein) H/No. 9, Block “A”, Tafo-Nhyiaeso and for
recovery of possession. The Defendant (Respondent herein) on the other hand
filed a defence, as well as a counterclaim for a declaration that the disputed
flat forms part of her late husband’s Estate and an
injunction.<o:p></o:p>
