The court found the plaintiff to be a joint owner of the disputed property acquired during marriage, as the defendants failed to provide conclusive proof of exclusive ownership or valid sale.

Charway v Kodia (J4/81/2024) [2025] GHASC 19 (19 March 2025)
The Plaintiff failed to prove by cogent and credible evidence that he had capacity to sue on behalf of the family. The statutory declaration relied upon contradicted his oral evidence and that of his witness regarding the headship of the family. There were material inconsistencies in the identification of the family represented. The Court of Appeal erred in reversing the trial court's finding on capacity. The requirement to serve the writ on the head of family is not a nullity but an irregularity; however, the Plaintiff's case failed on the threshold issue of capacity and family identity.
