Abstract:
This paper presents some of the findings from a research project for the
Queen's University of Belfast which aimed at examining the interrelationship
between land tenure reform and economic change with reference to a
developing country. It was decided to study in detail the effects of one
type of land reform, namely land registration. Registration and grant of
title has received considerable attention in Northern Ireland recently,
especially since the publication of the Lowry report, and the decision to
introduce a compulsory system of registration for all land involved in
dealings, which will lead to the eventual registration of all land in the
Province. An excellent summary of the historical background to land
registration is contained in the Lowry report (Chapter II), and the distinction
between registration of deeds and registration of title is clearly
explained.
