Resumen

These Regulations concern the procedure on conversion of customary tenure into leasehold tenure. A person: (a) who has a right to the use and occupation of land under customary tenure; or (b) using and occupying land in a customary area with the intention of settling there for a period of not less than five years; may apply for conversion to the Chief of the area where the land is situated in Form I as set out in the Schedule. Refusal of the request shall be communicated to the Commissioner of Lands in Form II. Where the Chief consents to the application the Form shall be referred to the Council in whose area the land that is to be converted is situated. The council shall consider whether or not there is a conflict between customary law of that area and the Act. If the council is satisfied that there is no conflict between the customary law of that area and the Act, the council shall make a recommendation to the Commissioner of Lands in Form III as set out in the Schedule. The Commissioner of Lands shall accept or refuse to accept the recommendation, and shall inform the applicant accordingly. The council may also apply for in the interests of the community for the conversion of a particular parcel of land, held under customary tenure into a leasehold tenure. A person aggrieved by a decision of the Commissioner of Lands may appeal to the Lands Tribunal.
