Applicability of Period of Limitation in Rural Land Disputes

Case Comment

Abstract

The purpose of this case comment is to shed light on the concepts of both acquisitive and extinctive prescriptions and comment whether the court’s
decisions upheld today is really in line with the intention of the land policy that we adopt. This comment is mainly based on the different decisions
delivered by the Federal Supreme Court Cassation Division (FSCCD) during the past several years. The ambiguous nature of the applicability of the period
of limitation principle on landholdings and the double stands that the court holds and which discriminates between private and state holdings encourage
us to prepare this comment.
