with cases that drag on and on.
14. Ordinary people are limited in their ability to use the legal

language and concepts required in court.
15. People lack lawyers or advisors who can give them legal

advice and suggestions on how to proceed with their cases.
16. Some legal professionals provide people fighting cases only
half-hearted assistance or do not act in the best interests of

Compensation for people found to be innocent

17. Citizens who are jailed after being accused in land cases but
found innocent of the charges do not receive compensation
for their time in jail.

Based on the research it is recommended that citizens facing

hardship due to eviction because of land rights cases filed against
them receive proper treatment. They should be entitled to a place
to stay and earn their livelihood so that they can look after their

family and not become a burden on society. To ensure a basic level
of justice, which would allow them to contest a case fairly, it is rec-
ommended that they also be provided any necessary advice on legal

or other matters related to the case.
