| Summary: | Ownership of land has occupied a special position in our legal history. lt has been said that "[t]the desire of individuals and social and political groups for the ownership of land is probably one of the greatest drives in human history. In non-industrial forms of society, the main source of a community's wealth is land. He who holds land [...] holds economic power, and ownership of-land becomes the basis of political power.

These qualities set larid apart from other commodities and make its ownership more complicated than the ownership of movables."¹ |
