The book, written by Sir Dennis Dominic Adjei, Justice of the Court of Appeal and The Director of the Judicial Training Institute of Ghana, aims at providing enough material to be used as reference in all land cases. It talks generally about land acquisition by families, stools, corporate bodies and individuals. The book further discusses mining and mineral rights and the steps that could be taken to acquire a mining concession.
It seeks to inform readers on compulsory acquisition of land for mining and the rights available to the “owner” of the land, as well as further proposing reforms in land administration.
