JUDGMENT
SOWAH, J.A.
Introduction
This is essentially a probate and administration matter interspersed with issues of headship of the immediate and the larger family.
Two cases, namely E2/1/2010 and E10/3/2011, were consolidated per order of court on 20th July 2011. Kwaku Ameyaw, the Plaintiff in the 1st suit was the 2nd defendant in the 2nd suit. The Defendant in the 1st suit was different from the Plaintiff in the 2nd suit but they share the same interests. They are the appellants in this appeal and will collectively be called “the appellants”. As the trial judge aptly noted, Ameyaw and all the defendants in the 2nd suit (hereafter collectively called “the respondents'”) are on one side of the litigation fence while Dr Osafo Mensah and Ebusuapanin Nana Yaw Boateng (respectively defendant in the 1st suit and plaintiff in the 2nd suit) are on the other side of the litigation fence and were represented by the same lawyer, Kweku Y. Paintsil Esq.
