Seminar on how to evict squatters effectively

MANILA, Philippines - A property owner’s worst nightmare is to have abusive squatters, professional squatting syndicates and unlawful tenants on his premises.  What does one do when faced with this headache?

The Center for Global Best Practices is holding a one-day pioneering seminar entitled, “A Property Owner’s Guide to Ejecting Illegal Dwellers Effectively: Strategies, Legal Procedues, and Solutions” on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at the Edsa Shangri-La Hotel, Makati City, Philippines.

A precise knowledge of the correct legal remedies is essential if any contemplated action for the recovery of illegally detained land or building is to be successful.

The seminar is about protecting your property from unlawful occupants and how to efficiently utilize ejectment actions and provisional remedies available as effective tools in the speedy recovery of your land or building so as to avoid further damage arising out of prolonged dispossession. 

The lecture will include some special laws of great concern to land developers such as Republic Act No. 6552 (The Maceda Law) that governs sales on installment of real property, Presidential Decree No. 1517 (The Urban Land Reform Law), Republic Act No. 7279 (The Lina Law), Tenancy law and other related laws.

Participants in the seminar will also learn best practices and actual cases on how to implement and manage actual ejectment and demolition of shanties from expert practitioners.

Some subtle factual differences could mean the success or failure of an ejectment action. Attend this seminar and avoid the costly mistakes and pitfalls of other property owners who have failed to evict unlawful occupants. This special program is a limited-seats only event with pre-registration required.

The seminar will also feature Ferdinand M. Casis who is an expert in agrarian law.  He is a law professor at the Ateneo Law School and a lecturer at the Philippine Judicial Academy.  He was director of legal service at the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) from 1993 to 1995.
