Abstract
This Act sets out the conditions and procedures for the partition of land held by more than one tenant, i.e. joint tenants and tenants in common.
Any person entitled to claim partition may apply to Court for partition, which shall, after issue of an order of partition by Court, take place in the matter as specified by this Act. The Court may also direct the sale of the property if it thinks to be more beneficial to the parties involved to distribute proceeds of the sale among them instead of carrying out the partition. The Act also makes provision for the award of compensation for improvements made on the land.
