ABSTRACT

This work focus on the registration and resolution of land dispute in Cameroon specifically the role played by the Land Consultative Board. As per section 14 of the Decree No. 76/166 of 27 April 1976 to established the terms and conditions of management of national lands, the Land Consultative Board was established in Cameroon to assist in the management of national lands and settlement of disputes. Land today is a key asset in every stratum of our society. A vast majority of those who owns or purchase land usually brandish sale agreement or deed of conveyance as proof of title but however, the lack of inclusive and final title is usually at the center of many land disputes among Cameroonians. The Land Consultative Board is made up of five administrative authorities who play a role in resolving dispute over land in Cameroon. However, conflict over land arises due to increase in commercialization of land, competition over land, climate change and the growth of population. Therefore, the researcher set out to examine the procedure of land registration and the roles played by the LCB in resolving land dispute. The study adopts the qualitative approach engulfing an in-depth exploration of facts in form of content analysis of both primary and secondary data. The Land Consultative Board most often are bias in resolving land disputes because they lack the adequate resources and the frequent collection of bribes. The study therefore recommends that, resolution of dispute over land by the LCB should be brought in an open court such that the disputed parties will be sensitize on what to do when dispute arises. Also, the LCB should exercise what has been put in place as means to resolve land disputes such as mediation, negotiations and reconciliation
