Land adjudication hearings are a vital component of Jamaica’s effort to formalize land ownership and provide landowners with a secure, registered title. 📜 Administered under the Registration of Titles, Cadastral Mapping and Tenure Clarification (Special Provisions) Act 2005, these hearings give the Adjudication Committee the authority to review and confirm ownership claims in designated areas. For property owners in Westmoreland, this process offers a clear path to gaining legal standing for their land.
