AI Generated Summary

This case involves a dispute over land title where the original plaintiff has deceased. A motion was filed to substitute the dead plaintiff with a new applicant, NUMO EMMANUELWILSON KOFI ALIMOH. The court first granted a prayer to correct the motion paper, replacing the word "Plaintiff" with "applicant" as per ORDER 16 Rule 9 of C.I. 47. The court then considered the motion for substitution, citing ORDER 4 Rule 6(2) of C.I. 47. The judge, Justice Nicholas M. C. Abodakpi, ruled that since the case involves title to land, the cause of action has survived the deceased plaintiff. Therefore, the motion to substitute was granted. The case was then adjourned sine die (without setting a future date).
