Land Claims Court

The Land Claims Court is a specialized court that resolves disputes related to land rights and ownership, especially those involving land claims by indigenous or historically marginalized communities. Its goal is to fairly settle disputes over land, land restitution, and customary rights, often addressing historical injustices. The court’s decisions help restore land rights where appropriate and ensure lawful use and ownership. It operates within the legal system and aims to balance historical context, land justice, and property laws to promote equitable land distribution and use.
