The Full Story Behind Recent Court Rulings

This short summary explains the core facts and recent court activity involving parts of the East Airport land. It groups the key points from our legal briefing so homeowners, prospective buyers and the public can quickly understand what happened, why it matters, and how Regimanuel Gray is protecting residents.

Background

In 1993 Regimanuel Gray entered a formal purchase agreement with three elders representing the Numo Kofi Anum family for 100 acres (400 plots). Payments were made at the time and the sale included a development arrangement that tied a small additional payment to future houses developed on the land. Over the years the land around East Airport became the subject of competing claims and complex litigation involving several families and the Nungua stool.

The 1993 transaction and the development fee

The original transaction included a conversion arrangement and a 0.03 percent development fee payable from proceeds when houses were sold. Regimanuel Gray documented the payments made in 1993 and later prepared a clear computation of owed amounts as houses were developed. Attempts to renegotiate the fee and disputes over conversions and receipts are central to the longer dispute.

Multiple competing claims and title complexity

The same parcels of land were claimed by other families and grantees over time. Some portions were registered to third parties from rival family grants. To regularize a secure development footprint, RGL negotiated and registered additional parcels from several sources, and today holds a consolidated land certificate covering roughly 262 acres for the East Airport development.

Leadership changes and repeated negotiations

Over time family leadership changed, and different elders and groups surfaced with varying demands. This created repeated negotiations, shifting settlement figures and multiple court actions. After the 2014 Supreme Court developments and later leadership disputes, some parties pressed ever higher settlement demands and produced varying documents whose authenticity RGL has questioned.

RGL’s infrastructure investment

Regimanuel Gray invested heavily to reclaim flood prone land and make the estate habitable. Works included large-diameter underground culverts, extensive drainage, and a long-distance water supply connection. As at 2014 the company’s investment in infrastructure for the East Airport development was quantified at approximately US$27.7 million and Ghs20.6 million.

Judicial developments between 2014 and 2025

The legal timeline is complex. Between 2014 and 2022 different courts issued judgments that, at times, named different families or a stool as owning parts of the land. In June 2025 a writ of possession was obtained by claimant parties which triggered enforcement attempts on site. The High Court intervened in August 2025 and in subsequent rulings took steps to protect third-party purchasers and to discipline repeated attempts to re-litigate settled interlocutory matters.

Current status and important notice

Following several adverse rulings against the claimant group, there is no lawful basis for those claimants or their agents to occupy RGL land or to transact with prospective buyers while appeals move through the courts. Regimanuel Gray has called on security authorities to prevent extra-judicial actions and to protect residents from harassment. The public is advised to treat any offers or dealings from the claimants with caution.

How RGL is protecting homeowners

Regimanuel Gray will continue to pursue lawful remedies, to publish verified court documents and to keep homeowners informed. Estate services, security and access control remain active to protect day-to-day life in all RGL communities.
