There are increasing number of property related claims reaching the Council and the House. Of the complaints lodged before the CCI/HoF, a good proportion has to do with land related property claims.

By employing doctrinal and case analysis methods of research, this paper conclude that the property-rights related jurisprudence of the Council and the House has not yet developed.
