Abstract

In Malaysia, land fraud continues to be a risk to landowners. Unfortunately, current legal redresses are insufficient to protect the interests of the land fraud victims. This research explores the need to introduce a compensation scheme as part of the Torrens system in Malaysia to provide statutory monetary compensation to land fraud victims. This paper employs library-based doctrinal study and comparative legal analysis. This research resolves that a compensation scheme should be established as one of the risk mitigations measures in facing land fraud.
