AI Generated Summary

The applicants sought orders for the valuation and judicial sale of properties forming part of the estates of the late Charles Wallace Quist and late Mrs Mercy Ama Quist for distribution among beneficiaries. They also sought the appointment of the Registrar as manager Receiver to supervise the process. The application referred to a 2009 judgment by Justice Felicity Amoah which contained suggestions but not definitive orders. Justice Elizabeth Ankumah ruled that a court of coordinate jurisdiction cannot convert suggestions into orders and advised that to prosecute their reliefs, the applicants should file a writ according to the High Court Civil Procedure Rules.
