The purpose of enacting The Land Registration Act 2002, was to combat the uncertainties evolved around the previous Act, Land Registration Act 1925 . The need for reforms was highlighted in a report by Law Commission known as Land Registration for the 21st Century: a Conveyancing Revolution . LRA 2002 repealed LRA 1925, not only simplify the law by maintaining an accurate record of all the rights and alongside interests held by others that affect the land, but also to give certainty the basic concepts
of the key features of the land registration system is said to be the “mirror principle”. With reference to decided cases critically examine this principle and explain to what extent this feature has been enhanced by the implementation of the Land Registration Act 2002 There are two forms of the land registration system; unregistered and registered land. There are four rules that apply to unregistered land in order to protect the rights of sellers and buyers. When land is unregistered all prior
The Land Registration Act 1925 was introduced in order to simplify conveyance by placing all information about an estate in land on register which show a mirror of the title to a purchase in a single document called a Title Information Documents. Before property legislation brought into force, the mechanics of conveyancing were obstruct by formalism and surround with danger for all but the most conscientious purchaser. The reliance on title deeds to prove ownership of land was both inconvenient
registering title to land was so that land would be guaranteed by the state and also for it to be relied on as proof of ownership1. This registration of titles would enable a safe, simple and economic system of transferring land between two parties thus, cutting the costs of conveyancing and preventing the chances of fraud from occurring. This system is contained in the Land Registration Acts and supplemented by the Land Registration Rules. A national system of land registration was first attempted
In law there are two types of land, registered and unregistered. It is necessary to register land so the register precisely reflects the state of the registered property, so it is clear to see who the current owner is and whether there are any third party proprietary interests affecting it; this is important as it would make many lal enquiries easier and will show the property’s reality to any future purchasers. The purpose of land registration according to Gray and Gray (2008) is that “any prospective
Land Law The understanding and basis of land law in this country today largely stems from the substantial amount of legislation, which was developed in, and around 1925. It is important to note that reforms aimed to simplify and rationalise substantive law. Over the years there have been many developments and adjustments to the 1925 legislation, but the essential framework has all in all remained the same until 2002. When the Land Registration Act 2002 was enacted and implemented in October
Land, as defined in s205(1)(ix) Law of Property Act 1925 (hereafter LPA 1925), is both tangible in nature by its physical assets and intangible by the rights and interests in and over the land. It is important to note that as physical property is attached to the property and transfers under new ownership, so are the rights and interests attached and transferred with it, both the benefit and the burden. The problem however was identifying the rights being transferred which was made easier by the legislative
Achieving the Main Aims of the Land Registration Acts A system of land registration has been in existence for well over one hundred years. The LRA[1] 1862 and the LTA[2]s 1875 and 1897 provided a system for voluntary registration of title. The LRA 1862 was found to be unworkable and thus replaced by the LTA 1875 and then 1897. The LTA 1897 made registration of title compulsory on dealings with land in the county of London, prior to this the number of titles registered was very small. However
Aims of the Land Registration Acts and Meeting Them The aims of the extensive restructuring of English property law that took place in 1925 can be accurately summarisedby Lord Upjohn[1]: "it has been the policy of the law for over a hundred years to simplify and facilitate transactions in real property. It is of great importance that persons should be able freely and easily to raise money on the security of their tenure." Prior to 1925, the system for the transfer of land remained complex
of the concept of ‘land’ under English law is critically evaluated through reference to the statutory definitions of ‘land’ provided by the Law of Property Act 1925 and the Land Registration Act 2002 and the approach of the courts in determining locus standi to assert rights against a third party and in reconciling competing interests in the same real property. The main statutory definition for ‘land’ is provided by the Law of Property Act 1925, stating ““Land” includes land of any tenure, and mines
Under the Native Title Act 1993 Aboriginal people can only claim title to vacant government owned land. They must prove a continuous relationship with this land when making a claim. The process it takes to gain native title is viewed by many as extreme. Should the process in Australia to Native Title claims be streamlined to allow Indigenous Australians the right to use of the land in a timelier manner? Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) The laws regarding native title have continually been questioned

Technological: Technology has an irrefutable effect on the food industry. In old times, food products are produced through the use of intensive labor. There are no machineries, tools and equipment to aid in the production of these products in order to attain maximum efficiency and productivity. Through the application of technology food production began to be modernized. Nowadays, we have modern technology for processing our food products and in the process prolonging its shelf life.

Prior to European contact, Aboriginal women had a distinct role within their culture: all life and creation began with women (Canada, 1996). Both men and women had clear responsibilities for “generating and transmitting knowledge, including significant ceremonial roles in the spiritual life, annual festivals and medicine societies of their communities and Nations” (NWAC, 2010a, p. 11). Women had “ specific responsibilities to creation” that, though different, were equal and even more important than

During the Civil War, however, Latinos moved west to displace Native Americans from their land. The rise of commercial agriculture created a need for seasonal laborers in the twentieth century. Many Latinos picked cotton, fruits and vegetables, or worked as ranch hands or shepherds. Latinos saw an improvement in wages and working conditions
questions in the first chapter, this chapter zooms in to review literature available on the subject of land tenure regularization and its effect on housing investment from different parts of the world with specific reference to cities. The emphasis of this chapter is to analyse the link between land tenure regularization and housing investment in informal settlements. Also, the focus is on securing land rights in informal settlements, since it is widely believed that regularization of informal settlement
