Torrens land registration threatens customary land tenure in Samoa.
The article discusses how the introduction of a new land registration system in Samoa affects customary land ownership. It looks at how the registration of adjudicated customary land under the Land Titles Registration Act 2008, along with other laws, may conflict with the country's Constitution. The study suggests that the new system may not work well with customary land practices and recommends excluding customary land from certain aspects of the new registration system.
