ABOUT
THE E-BOOKS
1.
LAND LAW: Principles. Conveyancing &
Litigation (Vol. 1) (2025)
This book – LAND LAW: PRINCIPLES, CONVEYANCING & LITIGATION - is unlike any
other book on land law in Ghana. It is the first and only book that deals with
all the three salient areas of land law; that is to say, the general principles
of land law, the art and craft of conveyancing and the rules and procedure for
conducting land litigation. It is also the first book to discuss the provisions
of the Land Act of 2020 (Act 1036) in detail with respect to all the three
areas of land law covered in the book. Commentaries on the law and decided
cases are also given to enrich the discussions.
The book is divided into three sections.
Section A is titled “General Overview of
Land Law.” It deals with the general principles of land law as known under
the laws of Ghana. The principles discussed include interests in land, (for
example, allodial title and customary law freehold) stool/skin, clan &
family lands, customary land management, public and vested lands, sale and
gifts of land, trusts, wills, advancement, joint property of spouses, co-ownership,
easements, restrictive covenants and profits á prendre, overriding
interests, licences, statutory wayleaves and future interests.
Section B comes under the broad rubric of “Buying Property in Ghana: The Prospects,
Potential Problems & Processes to follow.” It deals with the procedure for buying land.
It gives a list of some potential problems people face when buying property and
proffers insights into how to avoid such problems. It also discusses all the
steps in the conveyancing process; the pre-contract stage, the contract stage
and the conveyancing stage depending on whether the subject land is registered
or unregistered. The discussions also focus on how to prepare land documents
such as leases, subleases, assignments and so forth, as well as stamping and
registration of such documents.
Section C is on the broad topic: “Action to Recover Land or Real Estate
(Court Case).” It covers the preliminary issues a potential plaintiff must
consider before rushing to file a land case in court. These include capacity,
venue and proper person to sue or be sued and so on. It also discusses the
various reliefs available to parties in land litigation such as declaration of
title and recovery of possession. After the reliefs, the section focuses on the
possible defences a defendant can put up against a plaintiff’s claims,
including estoppel and limitation of action. The section concludes with judgments
and how they are enforced through the various execution methods known under
law.
This book is highly recommended for lawyers, judges
and law students at both the professional law course and LL.B Degree levels. It
is also a good reference source for other professionals who handle land issues
such as architects, surveyors, planners, land regulators and administrators, real
estate owners/practitioners and auctioneers, among others.

CIVIL JURISDICTION OF COURT OF APPEAL
& SUPREME COURT: Rules, Cases , Commentary & Precedents (2024)
The essence of this book - THE HANDBOOK ON CIVIL JURISDICTION OF COURT
OF APPEAL & SUPREME COURT – is to fill the void in the literature on
the subject. The book takes the subject of civil procedure rules and practice
of the appellate courts to new and greater heights, dealing with and discussing
the Supreme Court Rules, 1996 (C.I. 16) (as amended) and the Court of Appeal
Rules, 1997 (C.I. 19) (as amended) in depth. Part A deals with the rules of
procedure and practice for civil appeals in the Court of Appeal. Part B deals
with the rules of procedure and practice for civil appeals in the Supreme Court
as well as the general jurisdiction such as original, reference, supervisory,
review and Presidential election challenge jurisdiction.
As it is characteristic of the author - to
engender discussion and debate about the rules and decided cases - she gives
her comments on aspects of the rules and the way the appellate courts have
applied them. This book also comes complete with precedents. The precedents are
based on C.I. 16 and C.I. 19 (as amended) as well as the Civil Forms in both
C.I. 16 and C.I. 19 and the various practice directions given by the Supreme
Court from time to time. In effect, this book, just like its worthy predecessor
- THE HANDBOOK ON CIVIL PROCEDURE & PRACTICE IN GHANA - is an invaluable
addition to every lawyer, judge and law student’s library. Both books move
together like the metaphoric two peas in a pod. Thus, they must be owned and
used together to give the owner the complete satisfaction of having their
entire civil procedure and practice materials from the trial courts to the
highest court in two books. Talk about convenience brewed in two simple packs!
3.
CIVIL PROCEDURE & PRACTICE IN GHANA:
Rules, Cases , Commentary
& Precedents (2023)
This book - CIVIL PROCEDURE & PRACTICE
IN GHANA - is an indispensable and worthy companion. It is a
single-source textbook that discusses everything the lawyer, judge, law student
and lay client needs to know about the steps and procedure in civil litigation
in the Circuit and High Courts. It is written in easy and clear language,
follows a simple chronology and it is practice-oriented to aid the active
practitioner as well as the in-house Counsel. The author provides the reader
with a simplified rendition of the court rules and decisions from leading
cases, as well as reference sources for further reading. She also provides
several relevant precedents to serve as practical guide for drafting court
documents.
The important themes of the book analyze how
a case is filed in court up to the application for directions stage, where the
case is ready for trial (including the use of ADR methods in resolving cases);
the procedure from trial up to judgment; and the processes for executing court
judgments. The different applications parties may file in a case are discussed,
as well as various procedure for filing specific cases such as defamation,
enforcement of human rights, maritime actions, enforcement of foreign judgments
and arbitral awards, and so forth. Appeals are discussed and so are
applications for judicial review.

PERSPECTIVES : Not your conventional conversations (Vol.
1) (2022)
This book came about more by accident than by
design. It is a compilation of several articles written by the author on
different subjects and issues and shared with clients, friends and colleagues
online from July, 2020 to January, 2022. The articles essentially reflect the
author's views and sentiments on the subjects discussed, thus giving readers
fresh and candid perspectives on the issues. The straight-shooting and unadulterated
analyses will encourage readers to critically reconsider their historical
truths and begin to appreciate different angles to the everyday issues that
confront us – it’s surely not your conventional conversations.
The book challenges readers to ask pertinent
questions about the status quo. It contains
expositions on issues that are of general socio-economic interest to many of us.
There are also articles that address mainly issues about women’s rights that
have not received much attention of late. Yet more of the contents of the book
are on various topical issues on law and the legal profession in general. One
major highpoint of the book that sets it apart from others is the simplicity of
language and style of writing. The articles on law practice and the legal
profession, for instance, are so simple and easily understandable that
students, lawyers and the general public will enjoy them in equal measure.
The articles covered by this book are as follows:
·
The Law and Politics of Natural Black Hair: Marghuy
on my mind
·
Of stunted growth, stretch marks and ‘K’
legs: The unlawful personal qualification criteria of Ghana Immigration Service
