Abstract
The law of Ghana has for more than a century consisted of three types of law: Ghanaian and English statutory enactments, Ghanaian customary law, and common law. Each of these sources has affected the system of land tenure, which as a result is unusually complex. This article aims to summarize the present position in respect of subordinate tenures. It will not examine the customary law allodial title to land, since that in itself would need a discussion as lengthy as the present one. The sources primarily relied upon are those regarded as authoritative by the courts: judicial decisions and certain textbooks. In addition, factual evidence has been derived from other writings.
