“Suddenly we have to realise what land registration in a modern society means - what it means in a market economy. In the West the land registry is an important instrument for the protection of owners . . . . . Land Registration made it possible for land and real estate transactions to be executed in a reliable way. Private investments in real estate are very big, the amounts that are borrowed yearly are enormous and it is impossible to imagine how the economy in Western Europe would work without these transactions. All this private financial activity is only possible because a reliable land registration system exists based on legislation that gives private investors maximum protection.” J van Hemert 1993
