Santeng Vrs Acquah and Others [2020] GHASC 57 (25 November 2020)
The respondent's payment of part of the purchase price and subsequent attempts to pay the balance constituted sufficient part performance to entitle him to specific performance. The appellants' failure to provide a proper indenture and subsequent fraudulent sale to the co-defendant/appellant rendered the second sale void. The co-defendant/appellant failed to prove he was a bona fide purchaser for value without notice. The appeal lacked merit and was dismissed, affirming the Court of Appeal's decision in favour of the respondent.

Wiafe Vrs Bortey and Another [2016] GHASC 92 (1 June 2016)
The plaintiff established a valid claim to the land by obtaining a grant from the Nungua Stool, satisfying the requirements of the Conveyancing Act, and registering his title. The 1st defendant did not have a valid contract of sale or documentation from the Nungua Stool, and her receipt lacked sufficient description to constitute a valid sale. The absence of ministerial consent and registration does not invalidate the plaintiff’s title as between the parties. The appeal is dismissed and the orders of the trial High Court are affirmed.
