The designation of the parties at the Judicial
Committee of the Wassa Fiase Traditional Council (JCWFTC) will be maintained in
this appeal.<o:p></o:p>

On the 17th day of March 1994, one J M
K Ankomah informed the Registrar of the Judicial Committee of the Wassa Fiase
Traditional Council that they wished to&nbsp;
“institute a writ of summons” against the defendants per a process with
the understated title&nbsp; accompanied by a
five paragraph affidavit in support. The said affidavit called upon the
defendants who claimed to be royal members and kingmakers of the Tarkwa Banso
Stool to appear before the JCWFTC to prove how they became s Stool family and
Kingmakers in the light of certain facts they had stated in their affidavit in
support.<o:p></o:p>
