The Adjudication Committee is an official body established under Jamaica’s Registration of Titles, Cadastral Mapping and Tenure Clarification (Special Provisions) Act 2005. Its purpose is to help people in designated areas get a formal, registered title for their land, particularly when their claims are based on long-term possession rather than formal paperwork. The committee does this by holding hearings to review evidence and confirm ownership.
The Westmoreland Central Adjudication Committee has scheduled a hearing to address claims for multiple properties. Anyone with a claim or information related to these properties is required to attend.
Date: Thursday, March 23, 2023
Time: 12:00 noon
Location: Westmoreland Parish Library, 108 Great George Street, Savanna-la-Mar Post Office, Westmoreland
