This book gives a brief account of the background to the dual land
tenure system in force in Sierra Leone and explains the reasons why
the dualism derived from the different colonial experience of the
former Colony and Protectorate of Sierra Leone still persists
almost fifty years after the two entities were merged to form a
unitary State of Sierra Leone. The book gives an account, for the
benefit of both law students and legal practitioners, of the main
features of the English derived land law in the Western Area and of
the forms of land holding in the Provinces which are governed
predominately by customary law. The book also highlights the
practical problems that legal practitioners may be confronted with
in advising clients wanting to enter into transactions involving
land in Sierra Leone and in drafting legal documents for the
creation or transfer of interests in land in different parts of the
country. By giving an account of developments relating to policy
initiatives and by laying bare the achievements and shortcomings of
land tenure reform to date, the book aims to stimulate debate on
current proposals for reform not only among law students and
practitioners of the law but also among policy makers and members
of the wider non-legal community It offers a brief but constructive
criticism of the dual land tenure system and offers some proposals
for reform of the system changes in the light of stated policies.
