The Centre for Comparative and Public Law at the Faculty of Law, University of Hong Kong and the Asia Pacific Business Regulation Group at Monash University will co-host a workshop on Resolving Land Disputes in East Asia on Saturday, Nov. 26, 2011.
This workshop will investigate the role and limits of law in resolving land disputes in greater China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) and Vietnam. Speakers will examine how courts (and other dispute resolution fora) use law and/or other regulatory sources to resolve disputes about ownership and access to land. Land taking cases will be investigated from the perspective of conflicting understandings about land ownership and tenure rights. More particularly some of the speakers will investigate to what extent dispute resolution fora draw on guidance from outside the juridical framework to resolve disputes.
All are welcome.
