Land court or land claims court is a type of court which is charged with dealings over cases involving land titles and for disputes between landlords and tenants relating to agricultural tenancies.
The exact field of jurisdiction varies by country.
The Land Claims Court of the Republic of South Africa was established in 1995 and has the same status as the High Courts of that country.
The court specializes in hearing disputes that arise out of laws that underpin South Africa's land reform initiative.
This is in line with the South African Constitution which gave people and communities who had been dispossessed of land after 19 June 1913 as a result of racially discriminatory laws or practices the right to restitution of that property or to fair compensation.
