Tenure Security Reformand Electronic Registration: Exploring Insights from English Law
Abstract
This paper examines the potential significance of updating registration practices in
resolving some of the issues about tenure security in a transformative context. It
deals with the importance of good governance in the context of land administration
and considers its impact on intended reforms. Land registration practice as an
indicator of the quality of governance is scrutinised. The debate about the kinds of
interests to be served by tenure security reforms is considered. A comparative law
analysis demonstrates how demands for electronification, placed on registration
systems, can reshape the process of securing tenure. The paper then highlights
issues for further investigation and discussion.
