A legal battle over a 0.46-acre parcel of land in Adjiringano has intensified as the Defendants in the case continue construction activities despite an Application for Interlocutory Injunction pending before the Court.
In the suit filed under Case No. CI/169/25, Plaintiffs Doreen Hudson and Baffour Adjei Kwaku Bonsu I have taken legal action against Ben Kusi, Joshua Adjei Osekre, Nii Hammond, Harry Out, and the Ghana Police Service, seeking a declaration of title to the disputed land.
The Plaintiffs are also requesting a perpetual injunction to restrain the Defendants from entering, constructing, or interfering with the property.
Despite the ongoing legal proceedings, the Defendants have allegedly ignored the Court’s authority and continued development on the land. The Plaintiffs argue that this blatant disregard for the judicial process undermines the integrity of the legal system and their rightful claim to the property.
In response, the Plaintiffs have filed a Motion on Notice for an Application for Interlocutory Injunction on February 10, 2025.
The motion seeks a court order to immediately halt all activities on the land until a final ruling is made in the case.
According to the motion, the injunction would prevent the Defendants or any individuals acting on their behalf from entering or constructing any structures on the land pending the Court’s decision.
An interlocutory injunction is a critical tool used to maintain the status quo in property disputes, preventing irreversible changes before a court ruling is issued.
If granted, the injunction could force the Defendants to cease all activities on the land until the legal matter is resolved.
The Court has instructed the Defendants to enter an appearance within eight days of being served the writ.
Failure to do so could result in a default judgment being entered against them without further notice.
This case has drawn significant public interest, as land disputes continue to be a major issue in Ghana, often leading to protracted legal battles and conflicts.
Stakeholders in the real estate and legal sectors are closely watching how the Court will handle this case, as its outcome could set a precedent for similar disputes in the future.
The hearing date for the injunction application is yet to be announced. Meanwhile, the Plaintiffs remain hopeful that justice will be served, ensuring their ownership rights are protected under the law.
Stay tuned for updates as the case unfolds.
