Jeleel Company Limited was adjudged the owner of a parcel of land situate at Pantang, Accra by the High Court Land Division, Accra.

Pursuant to the said judgment, the Sheriff of the High Court executed a Writ of Possession and placed Jeleel Company Limited on the said parcel of land and in the year 2019.

After the execution of the Writ of Possession, Trasaaco Furniture Co Ltd applied to the High Court to have the Writ of Possession set aside.

This application was refused by the High Court on the grounds that, since Trasaaco was claiming ownership of the land and the fact that the Writ of Possession was already executed, there was nothing to set aside, and that the proper remedy available to Trasaaco was to issue a Writ against Jeleel Company Limited to have the entire judgment set aside.

Trasaaco Furniture appealed the refusal to set aside the Writ of Possession to the Court of Appeal.

The Court of Appeal granted the appeal and set aside the Writ of Possession only leaving the judgment of the High Court in favour of Jeleel Company Limited intact.
