The Act hardly went down well with traditional Nigeria, mainly because of the factors of interest in communal land ownership comprising several dead ancestors, relatively few living members and countless unborn generations. Many of their forefathers and mothers lost their lives in the process of acquiring the lands and were buried there. Unless their bodies and bones are exhumed, it remains a taboo to leave those lands. One therefore observes the existence of several motives and circumstances attracted to land ownership. In traditional Nigeria, many of which are non – economic and therefore cannot assuaged monetarily since the owners do not sale, alienate or part with land as freely or easily as other commodities.
Professionally speaking, land and its attributes, features and components embodies value – in – encounter.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
From the above discussions, certain questions might be identified that certainly, needs answers. They include;
1. Is the land use decree 1978 (now Land Use Act) implemented to its fullest apart from over use of such powers by state governors?
2. What are the problems associated with the techniques for valuing properties compulsorily acquired for compensation under the act?
3. What is the effect of the Act on compensation?
4. What adjustments should be done to the compensation, revocation of rights of occupancy for overriding public interests, allocation of land for Agriculture
2. What do they consider the relationship between property and
For multiple choice, true/false questions and short answer, you may be asked about the following concepts or issues:
Furthermore, it was found that the prohibition of use was a deprivation of any reasonable use for the parcels and eliminated the unrestricted right of use resulting in the parcels being rendered valueless. Lastly, the court determined that the parcels had in fact been “taken” by the Act and ordered that Lucas be paid just compensation in the amount of just over $1.2 million. Required compensation encompasses that the property owner to suffer a physical “invasion” of his property as well as denies all economically beneficial or productive use of land. The Supreme Court of South Carolina ruled that when regulations are in place to “prevent serious public harm”, id. at 383, 404 S.E.2d at 899, just compensation is not owed under the Takings Clause despite effect on property value. The court was unable to back the statue that construction of the two lots would threaten he public resource. Id. at 383, 404 S.E.2d at 898. The court reasoned that any regulations that deny a property owner of viable economic use of land constitutes regulatory deprivation requiring compensation. Due to Lucas having to sacrifice all economically beneficial uses for a common good and must leave the property useless then the owner had suffered a taking. It was argued that the owner’s view of deprivation of all economically beneficial use constitutes a deprivation in the
Source A is reliable but does not fully support the assertion. Source A, taken from a British-based research in 1997, intends to show how Mao’s preventive healthcare measures improved the peasants’ quality of life but “sparrowcide” had resulted in people having lesser grain as they were eaten by insects. Source A states that Mao had implemented the measures such as “basic healthcare and preventive services”, closing brothels and running campaigns against opium use to bring diseases and vices under control. However, by eradicating the sparrows in the Four Pests Campaign, “the insects ... now devoured the grains instead”.
I think it can be the next consideration to think about the land development because human comfort is important for people to live.
Property owners have been against eminent domain since the law was enacted, though the property owner is better off now than before it was enacted. Government municipalities claim that they are taking this land to make it for public use,
The acquisition of the so-called “former Champion lands” resulted from one of the most complicated land deals in Vermont history. The Champion Lands in Vermont were part of a larger deal involving almost 300,000 arces in New York, New Hampshire as well as Vermont. The specifics of how the property was transferred to the current owners are relevant because in some cases the provisions of the transfer mandate certain types of management or constrain management in other ways.
One reason cited as to why landowner’s close their lands is that the owner’s aren’t allowed to impose any rules on their land, as stated within the requirements of the MFL. Although some might try to create and enforce rules that are discriminatory or limit the public’s right to recreation on the open lands, one solution might be to allow certain rules to be made by landowners as long as these rules are deemed appropriate by the DNR or the landowner’s municipality. Other solutions could include providing more monetary incentives for open lands or further modification of the Managed Forest Law that would decrease the amount of land an MFL landowner can close to the public or making it a requirement that only one person whose name is one the deed of private land may enroll the land within the MFL
The riparian buffer discussed in the fact pattern describe leaving a 50-foot buffer zone of natural land between both sides of all streams. The plaintiff, Roberta Smith, owns a 100-acre farm which has a stream flowing through it. Under the new riparian buffer regulation four of her 100 acres will be lost because the regulation will prevent her from growing any crops on this four-acre plot of land. The plaintiff argues that a regulatory taking has occurred and that she is entitled to compensation for her lost land. It is important to understand the distinction between eminent domain and a regulatory taking before going further. In Kelo and Village of Euclid eminent domain refers to situations where the government explicitly condemns private land for public use and justify the taking under the 5th

Indigenous people have long been denied the entitlement of land rights by Australia. Law reform has been both effective as well as ineffective in achieving genuine access and control of land for the indigenous people. Law reform aims to reinforce and strengthen justice, through the process of first examining existing laws, and by then revoking, amending or creating the necessary changes to a law. This procedure is acted in accordance with judicial bodies, by the result of case law along with statutory law. The Native Title Act of 1993 was achieved through statutory reform. This act took place by cause of the High Courts settlement of the second Mabo case of 1992. Although law reform has not been exclusively effective, it has been relatively
The Homestead Act stated that settlers could migrate to the west and every American including free slaves could claim at least 160 acres of federal land. When the Civil War was over, fifteen thousand land claims had been made. A program was established that gave small farmers public land grants. States in the south voted against this act before the Civil War. Most states did not want the Homestead Act to be passed because they knew it would rush settlement.
When purchasing property there are steps you should take in order to determine if there is likelihood of future land resumption. If your property does become part of a land acquisition program, it is important to assert your legal
Being one of the most extensive law reforms of the Law Commission, Land Registration Act 2002 aims to create a flawless legal framework for land registration, especially in terms of conveyancing with emphasis on overriding interests and adverse possession. It is agreed that the Land Registration Act 2002 (hereafter LRA 2002), by putting emphasis on strict registration, moved the idea of land ownership from ownership by possession to bureaucratization of title via registration. Therefore, LRA 2002 is said to bring further strictness and clarity to land ownership and subsequent conveyancing. In conjunction, LRA 2002 was expected to bring an “e-conveyancing revolution” to land registration which was awaited to be a major success. Although steps are taken towards this development, it is claimed that there is still long way to go before a complete and problem-free e-conveyancing system. Apart from matters relating to conveyancing, LRA 2002 consists of sections regarding overriding interests where their number and scope are widely reduced with specifications of registration introduced. Moreover, the Act includes strictly drafted provisions about adverse possession, aiming to bring further restrictions to this matter by bringing further difficulties to the acquisition of title and therefore shifting from a squatter prone approach to a registered owner supporting view.
The Land Registration Act (LRA) 1925 has drawn much flak over the years with regards to one of its most important provisions on overriding interests (OI), which often goes unnoticed until it swoops up and takes priority over the rights of a future purchaser. These interests often come in the form of other occupiers in the property with an equitable interest and, like in the case of Boland , this leaves the lender in a tight spot when they find out about the existence of these interests only after they have initiate proceedings for possession against the defaulting borrowers. Due to the other occupier’s concealed nature on the property register, the lenders have regained their footing by applying the concept of overreaching and ….. The Law Commission, on the other hand, contemplated abolishing these interest altogether but did not go to that extent because it was neither feasible nor desirable Instead, they shrank their impact on land by reforming the operation and scope of the OI. With LRA 2002 sch 3 para 2, lenders now have more control over what may bite them. …. This essay will access…. with a focus on how the lending world have dealt with the implications of Boland…. The best way to access the impact of … would be to go through the pre – post blabla to show how the thing has balanced.
