This Act amends the Land Act by inserting a new section (32A). It also amends sections 31, 35, 59, and 92. Section 32A provides that a lawful or bona fide occupant shall not be evicted from registered land except upon an order of eviction issued by a court and only for non-payment of the annual nominal ground rent. Section 92 is consequentially amended. Section 59 concerns functions of district land boards and declares transactions or allocation of land carried out by a board to be null and void if in contravention with specified provisions.
