AI Generated Summary

The plaintiff, the owner of a house in Accra, sued the defendant for recovery of possession and mesne profits after the defendant refused to vacate the house despite the expiration of an oral lease and non-payment of rent. The Circuit Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff, holding that the plaintiff reasonably needed the house for personal use. On appeal, the court upheld the initial judgment, stating that non-compliance with Regulation 18 of LI 369 did not invalidate the plaintiffs case and that the N.D.C. had no jurisdiction over the matter. The plaintiff was entitled to possession as the trial judge found that the plaintiff reasonably required the premises.
