Germany-based family challenges auction sale of Tema home in Court

A mother and her three adult children, all residents of Germany, have challenged the auction sale of a house at No. 14 Almond Close, Community 20, Tema, claiming they have an ownership interest in the property.

According to the plaintiffs, the house was jointly acquired in 2008 by the first plaintiff and her husband, Peter Nana Kwadwo Ofosu-Ayeh. However, the property was attached and sold following a judgment obtained by Skyline Air Limited against Europa Pee Company Ltd and Mr. Ofosu-Ayeh in Suit No. AC/304/2011.

The plaintiffs contend that the judgment and subsequent execution process were unlawful. They argue that the court did not pierce the corporate veil of Europa Pee Company Ltd before holding Mr. Ofosu-Ayeh personally liable for the company's debts.

They further maintain that the property was jointly owned and indivisible, and therefore their interests in the house could not legally be attached or sold to satisfy the judgment debt.

The family is seeking declarations from the court to nullify the judgment, the attachment of the property, and its auction sale to a third party.
