Description

The book examines the Law of Adverse Possession in both the UK and Nigeria, and gives a critique of the ways in which it is regarded by both the State and the judicial system in these jurisdictions. Although much has been written about adverse possession from an Anglo-American perspective, the Nigerian aspect of this book is unique and brings an important point of difference when thinking about the right to settle, work and own land in an international arena.

This book will be of interest to students of law (especially comparative and property law); to scholars and activists with an interest in land settlement by indigenous and dispossessed peoples; a useful guide for the court in the dispensation of justice; and a pilot for the State in managing property relations.
