AI Generated Summary

Karle Okoh, a forensic auditor with KPMG, challenged the legality of a court‑ordered auction that purported to convey Plot B11, Sector A, Atomic Hills Estate at Ashongman to purchasers on September 9, 2014. She proved a chain of title through a 1995 sublease by Raabshold Company Limited (executed by Winfred Otuafro Aryeh and Tenmote Akakpo) to her father, George Victor Okoh, a registered 2012 deed of gift to herself, and a 2014 land title certificate and municipal building permit, coupled with acts of possession. The Court, after ensuring substituted service and proceeding in the Defendants’ absence, held the judgment debtors had no remaining interest in Plot B11 at the time of attachment and sale, rendering the auction void. It granted declaratory and injunctive relief, awarded GH¢10,000 in trespass damages, and GH¢20,000 costs, while emphasizing the court’s duty to set aside void acts and the weight of unchallenged evidence.
