Isn’t the Land Court an important source of revenue?

Sep 12, 2014 Letters

Dear Editor,
I write you about the Georgetown Land Court, which, according to my latest feedback, is still not functioning since last year 2013, when incumbent Commissioner of Titles Rooplal took his own unceremonious discharge from the judicial service.
Despite the earnest assurance by the Acting Chancellor Carl Singh in March 2014 that this important judicial service would resume operations shortly for at least three days a week initially, this has not been effected yet.
Many, including myself, have been waiting for more than a year to have their matters heard but at this time no information or update is forthcoming on when this court would resume sitting.
One is left to believe that matters of the Land Court do not subscribe to the importance of the Judicial system.
Isn’t the Land Court a source of revenue for the people of Guyana more than any other aspect of the Judiciary ? Why is it treated with the least importance and regards.
Many private people are now on the hook with regards to sale of properties including transfer of ownership. This obviously will lead to a multitude of other problems other than loss of revenues and opportunities.
When this entity begins to function again one can imagine the backlog before matters are dispensed with normally.
Please publish this letter so the authorities are reminded once again of the plight of those waiting for the past year
S.Mohamed
