@luvisialegal: Kenyan land law recognises the doctrine of adverse possession. In simple terms, a person who occupies another person’s land openly, continuously, exclusively and without the owner’s permission for at least 12 years may, in appropriate circumstances, apply to be recognised as the legal owner. But this raises a difficult question: Is it fair for someone to lose land simply because they failed to assert their ownership rights for many years? The justification is often that the law must balance private property rights against the wider social interest in ensuring land is not left unused indefinitely while another person has possessed and utilised it for a long period. 📌 Should adverse possession continue to exist in modern Kenyan land law? #LuvisiaLegal #LegalEducation #kenyantiktok #kenyantiktok🇰🇪
