Principle of indefeasibility

The principle of indefeasibility ensures that once a title to land is registered, it provides conclusive proof of ownership, protecting the registered owner from claims or challenges to their title, except in cases of fraud or errors in registration. This principle operates under the assumption that the land registry is accurate and comprehensive, providing a secure basis for property transactions. It is a cornerstone of land law in Jamaica, reinforcing the certainty of property rights and facilitating smooth and reliable real estate dealings by upholding the integrity of the land register. By guaranteeing that registered titles cannot be easily overturned, this principle helps maintain stability and confidence in property ownership.
