The purpose of this Act is to provide for all appeals in lands causes and matters from the Magistrates Courts (Lands) to be heard by the High Court. The Lands Court Appeal Panel was abolished by section 5 of the Native Lands (Amendment) Ordinance 1977 (then Cap. 22), but section 5 contained a proviso that the Panel would continue in being only until it had dealt with appeals then pending, and then would be at an end. Such appeals have not all been dealt with by the Panel although five years have elapsed. Amendments are made to endeavour to remedy this and eliminate in due course the backlog of appeal cases pending before the Panel, all cases so pending are now to be heard by the High Court in line with current practice.
