AMPIAH J.A.: In his writ of summons, the plaintiff-appellant (hereinafter referred to as the plaintiff) claimed ownership of a piece of land situate and lying at the Ring Road near Nima Junction, damages for trespass and an order of perpetual injunction against the defendant-respondent, also referred to in this appeal simply as the defendant. A Madam Adelaide Valani Otwiwa Newman , the grantor of the defendant, applied to be joined and was joined in the action as the co-defendant. She counterclaimed for a declaration of title to that piece of land, damages for trespass and an order of perpetual injunction against the plaintiff, his agents, servants and assigns. On 13 February 1984 the trial learned judge dismissed the plaintiff’s claim. He declared title in the co-defendant and made an order restraining the plaintiff, his agents and servants from entering the land in dispute or in any way interfering with it. It is against this judgment that the plaintiff has appealed.
