TRASACCO FURNITURE Limited, a subsidiary of Ghana’s leading estate developer, Trasacco Group, has won a case against Jaleel Ghana Company Limited in the Supreme Court of Ghana, a release signed by Kwame Owusu Danso, General Manager, Corporate Affairs – Trasacco Group, has said.
The Court of Appeal had in a unanimous ruling, indicated that the 138-acre parcel of land which was the subject of litigation, belongs to Trasacco Furniture, and not Jaleel Ghana Company Limited.
The court, therefore, granted Trasacco Furniture entry and possession of the said land.
Jaleel Group, however, proceeded to the Supreme Court and filed a motion for an injunction and stay of execution.
The Apex Court, however, established unequivocally that Jaleel’s motion for stay of execution and the injunction on entry and possession of the property was ‘grossly incompetent and unmeritorious’.
The court said their continuous occupation of the land belonging to Trasacco Furniture was unlawful, and that their appeal is frivolous and fails to lay out any legal canons worthy of upsetting the judgment entered in the judgment of the Court of Appeal on October 28, 2021.
Pursuant to the Court of Appeal’s decision handed down in favour of Trasacco Furniture on October 28, 2021, the company has, following the ruling, served notice on all persons who illegally acquired parcels of land in Pantang to vacate as there will be consequences.
“It will be recalled that sometime in March 2020, there was a publication in the Daily Graphic cautioning the general public about the illegal sale of land at Pantang (near head office of Micheletti & Co. Ltd) belonging to Trasacco Furniture Ltd. The purpose of this was to serve notice that any such purchases of the said lands were not in conformity with law. However, these unscrupulous persons flagrantly disregarded the orders and went on with their illegality, until the Court of Appeal’s decision, ruling in favour of Trasacco Group,” the statement noted.
