Try asking the following...
Per the instant Application the Applicants are the spouse and son of the late 1st Defendant.
I have perused the arguments put up in support of the Application by Counsel for the Applicants.
I have equally examined the arguments put up against the grant of the Application.
A perusal of the Affidavit in Support depicts the Applicants are the wife and son of the late 1st Defendant.
This clearly makes them beneficiaries to the estate of the late 1st Defendant for which they have an interest in the subject matter.
In the circumstance I hold that the Application has merit for which reason I grant same accordingly.

EMMANUEL AMO YARTEY (J)
AI Generated Summary
Before HIS LORDSHIP EMMANUEL AMO YARTEY (J), the court considered an application brought by two applicants identified as the spouse and son of the late first defendant. The judge stated that he had reviewed arguments advanced by counsel for the applicants and had equally examined arguments opposing the grant. A supporting affidavit confirmed the applicants’ relationship to the deceased defendant. On that basis, the court recognized that, as the wife and son, the applicants are beneficiaries of the deceased’s estate and therefore have a cognizable interest in the subject matter of the dispute. Having weighed the submissions and evidence, the court concluded that the application had merit and granted it accordingly.
