Procedures and Mechanisms for the Prevention of Land Cases Set for Introduction: Three-Phase Prevention Measures to Be Enforced

The Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning/Head of the National Land Agency (“Minister”) previously introduced Regulation No. 21 of 2020 on the Handling and Settlement of Land Cases (“Regulation 21/2020”) in 2020[1] and is currently preparing a new Draft Regulation on the Prevention of Land Cases (“Draft Regulation”). As its title suggests, the Draft Regulation will introduce further measures aimed at the prevention and minimization of land-related disputes, conflicts and/or crimes (collectively referred to as “Land Cases”)[2] and will hopefully ensure greater legal certainty as regards the possession and utilization of land.[3]
