Abstract
The exercise of the power of eminent domain—the compulsory acquisition of property (particularly land) in the public or national interest—is often accompanied by a number of challenges. Ghana has had its fair share of these problems. This paper examines the shortfalls that characterized the exercise of the power of eminent domain prior to the promulgation of the Land Act, 2020 (Act 1036). It also points out the laudable initiatives introduced by the Act to remedy the challenges which hitherto existed.
