Abstract<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Ambiguities regarding ownership of rural land zones in Iceland have led to modern day disputes and land reform aimed at clarifying land title. A single Icelandic scheme was established via a 1998 legislation to determine the status of property in land, beyond privately held land, throughout Icelandic land territory. A mechanism for case proceedings was set in place (at administrative and court levels) intended to facilitate the substantiation of title and thus a clarification of land ownership. The research portrays via doctrinal means how land title is clarified under Icelandic law according to the 1998 legislation, through an investigation of the 1998 legislation’s statutory provisions and their application in practice as per the accompanying case law of the Icelandic Supreme Court. It also relies on a comparative law analysis to portray how the Icelandic scheme operates in comparison with external property institutions, including a Norwegian clarifying scheme. The research further illustrates how the Icelandic scheme achieves its aim of clarifying land title whilst upholding a minimum standard of rights’ protection (with reference to the criteria for rights’ protection in a European context).<\/p>\n
