On the 9th January, 1961, the Supreme Court (van Lare, Granville Sharp and Akiwumi, JJ.S.C.) set aside the judgment of Ollennu, J., (reported at [1959] G.L.R. 323, sub nom. Ngmati v. Adetsia and others) and remitted the case to the High Court for rehearing in whole. The Supreme Court said:- “Following discussion and upon hearing counsel for the parties it is mutually agreed that in the absence of a plan it is not possible to identify with any degree of certainty the extent or situation of the land in controversy between the parties in this case; on this ground alone it is also mutually agreed that the judgment appealed from cannot be allowed to stand and must be set aside.”
