C. C. W. Ltd Vrs Accra Metropolitan Assembly [2021] GHASC 15 (31 March 2021)
The Court of Appeal erred by allowing legal issues not pleaded or raised at trial to be argued on appeal without leave and without giving the plaintiff an opportunity to respond. The plaintiff proved, on a balance of probabilities, her contribution to the acquisition of property based on a promise to marry, entitling her to equitable relief by way of constructive trust. The defendant failed to prove sole ownership or entitlement to the vehicle. The High Court's judgment is restored, save for costs paid to the 1st defendant.

Boateng Vrs Mckeown Investment Ltd [2020] GHASC 3 (5 February 2020)
The Court of Appeal erred in admitting and acting on a second notice of appeal filed without leave, contrary to binding Supreme Court authority. On the merits, the plaintiff was the first purchaser from the common grantor, registered her interest, and was in possession before the defendant's grantor acquired title. The family did not act timeously to set aside the plaintiff's grant. It would be inequitable to deny the plaintiff title; thus, the trial court's judgment in her favour is restored.
