JUDGMENT
SOWAH, J.A:
STATEMENT OF CLAIM
The plaintiff’s claim jointly and severally against the defendants as follows:
a. An order setting aside the appointment intended installation of Nii Odarlai Lamptey II as the Chief Fisherman of the plaintiff/Association.
b. Perpetual Injunction restraining the 1st, 3rd, 4th and 5th defendants from doing anything to appoint or install any person as the chief fisherman of plaintiff/association without the due process of the law.
c. Any other relief as the court may deem fit.
The defendants’ counterclaim stated in their defence filed on February, 28, 2006 was:
a. That all chief fisherman or sub-chiefs fishermen throughout the fishing townships within the James Town Traditional Area are always nominated, elected and installed from a particular accredited Royal fishing Family, (in the particular instance “the Royal Family of Lante Quarshie House”) and never from any false Association.
b. That the first defendant (The Adadentan Stool Council) is a sub-divisional Stool Council of the James Town Traditional Council responsible for the overall supervision of the nomination, election and installation of chief fisherman for the James Town Traditional Council under the authority of James Town Chief Fisherman (2ns defendant) and with the prior consent and approval of the James Town Paramount Stool.
c. That since the relevant law, custom and tradition involves nomination, election and installation similar to the procedure under the Chieftaincy Act, the court shall have no jurisdiction in the matter.
At the Application for Directions, the following issued were set down for trial:
a. Whether or not the plaintiff is entitled to its reliefs.
b. Whether or not the second defendant has been legitimately installed as the chief fisherman of the Plaintiff/Association.
c. Whether or not the second defendant is an imposter.
d. Any other issue arising from the pleadings.
