Lawyer William Kusi stated that he and his client, Akosua Serwaa, had until October 28 to file their response to the motion from Mr Victor Kofi Owusu Banahene's legal counsel.
He said:
"When we got to the court, the lawyer for the family head had filed a motion to serve me and not the other parties. The lawyer is challenging the plaintiff's capacity. So we had to get a date and respond before October 28. We were served when I came home from the court."
Akosua Serwaa's lawyer noted that he and his client would file their response to the motion from the family head's legal counsel.
He said that he and his client were open to following the court's recommendation of having a dialogue with the other party to find an amicable solution to end the legal dispute.
Lawyer William Kusi stated that his party wanted a neutral person to mediate between them and the other members of the family.
He noted that as per the court's directives, the funeral service for the late Daddy Lumba would go on as planned on the fixed date and that he wanted them to resolve the outstanding issues before the day of the solemn event.
