UK understands human rights after 100 years

UK becomes conscious of an individual citizens’s right  to protection of his/ her property,  especially in that regard, the need for compulsory registrability of instruments generated by the acquiring authority,100 years after implementing compulsory land acquisition laws in one third of the world, after destroying the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people worldwide.

Excerpts from  The Law Commission(UK)

(LAW COM No 291)

“TOWARDS A COMPULSORY

PURCHASE CODE:

(2) PROCEDURE

FINAL REPORT” Dec.2004

Local land charge registration

A.15 We believe that the system for compulsory acquisition of land and interests in

land not owned by the state should be made as open and transparent a process

as possible. We are conscious that an individual citizen’s right to protection of his

or her property is now a right enshrined in the Human Rights Act 1998.

A.16 Against this backcloth we have recommended that additional key steps in the

making and implementation process should be registrable as local land charges.

We do not believe that the cost of registration which will fall on acquiring

authorities and registration authorities will be more than minimal, and that any

burden should be more than outweighed by the benefit to affected landowners

who will be alerted to the need to pursue further enquiries. As we say in our

report,6 there should be no adverse effect on the land registration process under

the Land Registration Act 2002
