Land law Land Case No

Land Case No

The plaintiffs' claims for ownership, trespass, and compensation are time-barred as the alleged acquisition and trespass occurred in the 1980s and compensation discussions in the 1990s and early 2000s. The law requires such claims to be brought within twelve years for land recovery and three years for tort. Tondoroni Village is legally non-existent following de-registration. The suit is dismissed for being time-barred.

  • Trespass to land
  • Compensation for land acquisition
