SUURBAAREH, JA<o:p></o:p>

On 2nd
July, 2021, the High Court, Kumasi, dismissed an application for interlocutory
injunction, filed by the Plaintiffs/Appellants, alongside their writ of
summons, in which they sought amongst other reliefs, a declarations that
certain properties located in places within the Ashanti and Bono Regions were
the family property of Akua Saah;
and, an order restraining the Defendant/Respondent and all persons claiming by
or through him from collecting rents and proceeds from those properties and
dissipating them to the detriment of the entire Akua Saah’s family.<o:p></o:p>

&nbsp;

Aggrieved
by the ruling, the
Plaintiffs/Appellants have mounted the instant appeal, complaining about the whole ruling on two grounds
of appeal, as no additional grounds were filed despite a
proviso in the notice of appeal that other grounds of appeal would be filed
upon receipt of the record of appeal. The two grounds of appeal, which appear
at page 70 of the record of appeal are the following:<o:p></o:p>

The Decision/Ruling/Judgment of the High Court, Kumasi
is against the weight of the
evidence on record.<o:p></o:p>

The Court erred when it failed o reflect on
the settlement terms of the family dated 31st January, 2019.<o:p></o:p>
