The Land Use Act, 1978 (hereinafter referred to, where the context admits, as “the Act”) introduced a uniform State ownership of land otherwise known as the Rights of Occupancy System in Nigeria. Section 1 of the Act vests all land within the territory of each State in the Federation in the Governor of the State to hold upon trust for the use and common benefit of all Nigerians. Section 5 empowers the Governor in respect of land whether or not in an urban area to grant a Statutory Right of Occupancy to any person for all purposes, while Section 6 empowers the Local Government, where appropriate, in respect of land in a non-urban area to grant a Customary Right of Occupancy to any person. By Sections 34 and 36 former owners of land become deemed holders of rights of occupancy into which their former ownership rights have been transformed by operation of law.The Act continues to attract comments from learned writers as to its effect on various aspects of property law. However, it would appear that not many writers have focused particularly on the effect of the Act on the law of mortgages. This is not to say that the subject is not important, nor that the Act has not significantly affected the law and practice of mortgages. The object of this article is to fill this vacuum.

The deed of the purchase and sale agreement (PPJB). The deed of the sale and purchase agreement is a preliminary agreement prior to the sale and purchase of land. PPJB is used only once. If what is agreed in the PPJB has been fulfilled then the signing of the sale and purchase deed can be carried out, by signing the sale and purchase deed, the ownership of land rights has been transferred. There are still many people who think that when the PPJB is signed, there will be a transfer of land rights, even though the PPJB is not an evidence of a transfer of land rights. This thesis discusses graded PPJB or recurring PPJB made by a Notary on a plot of land based on ownership rights over land use rights of former customary land based on the quotation of the Decree of the Governor of East Java Region Serial Number I/Agr/117 XI/HM/01.G/1970 issued November 4, 1970, or uncertified land.

When talking about the ownership of land, one deals with property law. Property law is concerned with questions such as how you describe a boundary, what's the scope of a particular easement, and does a mechanic's lien gain priority over an unrecorded mortgage? There are rules here which haven't changed much since Blackstone wrote them down. Thus law can be a set of rules that resemble the axioms of geometry and, often enough, the image of the lawyer as pettifogging nitpicker is an apt one.

ABSTRACTBali Provincial Regulation Number 3 of 2001 which has been amended by Bali Provincial Regulation number 3 of 2003 concerning Desa Pakraman article 9 paragraph (5) explicitly states that land owned by Pakraman village of Bali cannot be certified in the personal name and Decree of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning / Head of National Land Agency Number 276 / Kep-19. 2 / X / 2017 concerning the appointment of Pakraman Village in the province of Bali as the subject of communal ownership rights designates the pakraman village as the subject of joint ownership rights. This brings polemic related to the existence of the village Druwe's land rights. Then the focus of this research is whether the conversion of Druwe Village Rights Into Property Rights According to Article II Provisions for Conversion of the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) is in accordance with the law. How should the conversion of Druwe Desa rights to land rights according to the LoGA. as for the research methods used Normative law research (normative law research). The approach used. Statute Approach and Historical Approach. The results of this study are found. Conversion of Village Druwe Rights to Property Rights According to Article II, the Conversion Provisions for the Basic Agrarian Law (UUPA) are not in accordance with the law, because the rights of village druwe with ownership rights do not have in common or similarities either with respect to the subject of the holder of his land rights or the authority of the holder of his right, so that conversions cannot be carried out. This is reinforced by article 9 paragraph (5) of the Regional Regulation of the Province of Bali Number 3 of 2001 which has been amended by the Regional Regulation of the Province of Bali number 3 of 2003 concerning Desa Pakraman regarding land owned by the village of pakraman in Bali cannot be certified in the personal name and the Decree of the Minister of Agrarian Affairs Spatial Planning / Head of National Land Agency Number 276 / Kep-19. 2 / X / 2017 concerning the appointment of Pakraman Village in the province of Bali as the subject of communal ownership rights.

A nominee agreement is an agreement that has not been specifically regulated in the Civil Code, but grows and develops in the community. The agreement is included in a special agreement or often called an innominate agreement. Based on this background, this research was conducted with the aim of describing the arrangement of nominee agreements as a form of land ownership by citizens in Bali and the responsibilities of notaries in drafting agreement deeds for land tenure by foreign nationals in Bali. The research method used was normative legal research. Based on the results, it was revealed that there was no specific regulation regarding the nominee agreement which was regulated in the Civil Code. As long as the parties are able to carry out the agreement properly in accordance with the provisions of the law regarding the validity of the agreement and regarding land ownership rights that have been regulated in the Civil Code and the Basic Agrarian Law, the agreement is valid before the law. Furthermore, the responsibilities and duties of a notary have been regulated in the Law on Notary Position. the ownership of land by a foreigner based on a nominee agreement is an act that is prohibited or against the law. The violation of the articles referred to in Article 84 of the Notary Position Law is a guarantee of the formal requirements for making an authentic deed. The government must supervise this anonymous agreement because this agreement is legal smuggling.

The nominee agreement is an agreement made between a person who by law can not be the subject of a particular land title (in this case the Right or the Right to Build). In this case a foreign national with an Indonesian citizen, which is intended for foreigners to possess the land of ownership or the right to use the building (de facto), but legally (de jure) of the land concerned on behalf of the Indonesian citizen. In other words, Indonesian citizen borrowed its name by foreigners citizen (acting as nominee). The existence of the obscurity of the norm in Article 26 paragraph (2) concerning whether the legal act of a foreigner / foreigner in a notarial deed called a nominee deed is valid for one year and thereafter if not transferred shall fall to the state having the same meaning and intent with the provision of Article 21 paragraph (3). This is particularly important to be considered since Article 26 paragraph (2) implicitly prohibits that legal acts directly or indirectly intended to transfer land rights from Indonesian citizens to foreigners / foreigners are null and void because the law and land fall to the State . Because the phrase that states other acts intended to directly or indirectly transfer the ownership rights to a stranger in Article 26 paragraph (2) of the BAL raises various interpretations (interpretations) so that there arises doubts that lead to the escape of norms (vague van normen).

The lack of a national strategy (program) for land consolidation, which would be integrated into the country’s land policy, led to the adoption in 2018 of the Law of Ukraine № 2498-VIII “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of Ukraine in Respect of the Issue of Collective Ownership of Land, Improvement of Agricultural Land Use Rules, Prevention of Raidership and Stimulation of Irrigation in Ukraine”. This law is designed to solve the existing problems of land use concerning the rational use of land parcels. However, the principles declared by the relevant law have not gained practical application to this day. The purpose of the article is to analyse the procedure for the formation of the agricultural land layout to ensure the rational use of land through the exchange of rights of use as an alternative to land consolidation. A detailed analysis of the Law № 2498-VIII allowed to develop an algorithm for the formation of the agricultural land layout with the purpose to exchange of land parcels and their rights of use. This has allowed approaching the solution of the set problem in a more structured and comprehensive way. It has been established that the permitted exchange of land parcels and rights of use within the agricultural land layout is not a land consolidation either in the classical or in any other sense. An analysis of the legal provisions of Law № 2498-VIII has revealed their inconsistency with the “Voluntary Guidelines on Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forests in the Context of National Food Security” and best international practice on land consolidation. The existing obstacles to the implementation of the legislation on improving the rules of land use in the agricultural land layout have been found out. Three key causes of their occurrence (technical, legal and organizational) have been identified.

Some years ago the position of the unborn child in the English law of tort attracted my attention and it is chiefly in connection with that branch of the law that I wish to discuss the topic. But, as almost invariably happens in legal research, I soon found that there were other aspects of the subject which at least deserved passing notice, and at most might be useful for analogy with or distinction from the aspect in tort. It is the old tale of going out to catch a whale and landing several other fish in the process. The three other branches of the law with which I made contact were the law of property, criminal law and the law of contract. I shall touch upon these, but I have no intention of investigating them in detail. There are plenty of books which cover the topic in Property Law and Criminal Law respectively. In the law of contract there is a significant blank. The order of discussion in this article will be:—I—The law of property.II—Criminal law.III—The law of contract.IV—The law of tort.
