Case Details

Suit Number:CIVIL APPEAL NO. J4/8/2014
Judges:ATUGUBA JSC (PRESIDING), ANSAH JSC, BONNIE JSC, BAMFO JSC, AKAMBA JSC.
Counsel:THE APPELLANT PRESENT; 2ND RESPONDENT PRESENT, K. A. OWUSU-ANSAH FOR THE APPELLANT/APPELLANT., F.K. BUOR FOR THE 2ND TO 4TH RESPONDENTS.

We have read the judgment of the Court of Appeal, against the background of the proceedings. We consider that the Court of Appeal meticulously dealt with the matter both as to the facts and the Law and we see no ground to disturb the same. There is no need to repeat the reasons for decision as same were stated by the Court of Appeal. Indeed in Krabah v. Krakue (1962) 2GLRR,122 S.C. Akufo –Addo JSC (as he then was) noted at 132-133 a similar terse decision of the Court of Appeal in the case of Mills v. Addy (1958) 3 WALR 357 on the ground of the comprehensiveness and ability of Ollenu J’s Judgment.

We accordingly dismiss this appeal as being unmeritorious.

Cost of GH¢2,000.00 in favour of the Respondents.
