Course Description:

Some subtle factual differences could mean the success or failure of an ejectment suit.

A precise knowledge of the correct legal remedies is essential if any contemplated action for the recovery of illegally detained land or building is to be successful.

This seminar is about protecting your property from unlawful occupants and how to efficiently utilize ejectment actions and the provisional remedies available as effective tools in the speedy recovery of your land or building so as to avoid further damage arising out of prolonged dispossession. The lecture will include some special laws of great concern to land developers such as Republic Act No. 6552 (The Maceda Law) that governs sales on installment of real property, Presidential Decree No. 1517 (The Urban Land Reform Law), Republic Act No. 7279 (The Lina Law) and other related laws.

Participants will also learn best practices and actual cases on how to implement and manage actual ejectment and demolition of shanties and illegal vendors from an expert practitioner.
