Nii Amoafio II and Ors v. Land Commission and 2 Ors

This case involves a land ownership dispute in Adamrobe, Tema District. The Plaintiffs had obtained a judgment to demolish unauthorized structures on the land, but the Claimant filed an interpleader action claiming ownership of the land covered by Land Certificate No TD 2406. The court initially ordered both parties to file their respective statements. However, during the hearing, the parties requested to settle the matter out of court, which the court granted. They subsequently filed Terms of Settlement, which the court adopted as a consent judgment. The key points of the settlement include: (1) The Claimant acknowledged that the Nee Okangsuru Dsane Family of Teshie Kle Krobo are the rightful owners of the disputed land. (2) The Claimant is allowed to remain in possession of the land for the term of his lease less one year, termed as the "Year of Surrender". (3) The Claimant has the option to request an extension of the lease before the Year of Surrender expires. (4) The Claimant must pay GH₵8,000.00 as legal costs to the Plaintiffs. The court adopted these terms as a full and final settlement of all claims between the parties, with no additional order as to costs.
