4.5 Legal Provisions on Land Encroachment

The Code's encroachment provisions (with the criminal-law counterparts — LAW 401's cross-read): the prohibition of occupying another's or public land; the removal and restoration remedies; the ailani/public land's special protection; the encroacher's liability (compensation for use; the structures' fate); beside the survey-law machinery (the boundary records, the re-survey) and the public-offences provisions (the land-grabbing criminality). The critical study: the encroachment- and-regularization cycles (the riverbank and public-land settlements' politics — the Court's anti- encroachment line vs. the settlement programs' accommodation).
