JUDGMENT

Plaintiff is the owner of a property referred to as “Office Block One” located at its Weija Monitoring Station. The property fell into disuse when plaintiff moved from analogue transmission to FM transmission. Taking advantage of the unoccupied property, defendant operated a school known as “Way of Hope School” on the property without any authorization by plaintiff. The thrust of plaintiff’s plaint is that she has urgent need of the property to fulfill her statutory mandate as a public service broadcaster. Consequently, by notice of eviction dated 4th of March 2014, defendant was served with notice to give up vacant possession of plaintiff’s property by the 30th of August 2014.

Plaintiff averred that defendant failed to vacate the property and she took steps to re-occupy her property by barricading the windows and doors at cost of GHc990. But defendant broke the barricades down and has continued to unlawfully occupy the property thereby depriving her of same.
