The Land Division of the High Court in Accra has issued an interim injunction in favor of Labadi Beach Hotel, restraining Spartan Ives Limited, operators of Polo Beach Club, from encroaching on its property.
The injunction, granted on December 19, 2024, follows legal proceedings initiated by Hotel Investments (Ghana) Limited, owners of Labadi Beach Hotel, to reclaim disputed land.
The court’s order explicitly prohibits Spartan Ives Limited and its affiliates from the following:
1. Trespassing on 0.54 acres of the hotel’s property, including its use as a car park, pathway, or event venue.
2. Operating the Polo Beach Club or hosting events on the hotel’s land or adjoining restricted areas.
3. Using the beachfront adjacent to the hotel’s property, in violation of the lease agreement dated November 27, 1990.
The injunction, which is valid for 10 days, also warns of contempt proceedings should the defendants fail to comply with the court’s directives.
Labadi Beach Hotel, known as Ghana’s leading 5-star beach resort, has taken this legal step to protect its assets amidst allegations of land encroachment. The hotel’s management, led by David Eduaful, submitted affidavits to assert its rights and defend its reputation.
This court order marks a critical step in Labadi Beach Hotel’s ongoing efforts to resolve land disputes and maintain a peaceful environment for its guests. Further legal developments are anticipated as the case moves forward.
