The trial High Court erred in summarily dismissing the suit as statute-barred without taking evidence to establish when the cause of action accrued and whether the respondent's adverse possession was open, continuous, and known to the appellant for the statutory period; the facts on the pleadings did not conclusively establish limitation, and the issue required trial.

Codjoe Vrs Sowah [2022] GHASC 101 (29 November 2022)
The Supreme Court held that the plaintiff acquired the disputed land by valid oral customary grant in 1954, which took priority over the defendant’s root of title. The Court found no evidence of fraud in the acquisition of the Land Title Certificate and held that the defendant failed to prove his counterclaim or the allegation of fraud.
