LawGlobal Hub Judgment Report – West African Court of Appeal

Title to land—estoppel—interested persons not party to action—compromise.

Facts

This was a land dispute in which there have been numerous cases over a period of 20 years.

Held

Note: The judgment also dealt fully with the doctrine of estoppel as it affected persons not actually parties to the suit in cases where the action was compromised.
