Differing interpretations of land titles are exacerbating Cambodia’s land dispute problem, a top lawyer warned Monday.
“Many people are confused about that, because when there is a case, they say they have a title,” said Laing Kim Seng, a lawyer in the national bar assocation, as he described legal procedures in civil cases.
A sharp rise in land prices in recent years has led to an increase in land disputes and thefts, while many displaced say they were victims of corrupt sales or the turning of public property into private assets.
Laing Kim Seng said an inventory should exist for public property, and a switch form public to private ownership is illegal.
People have a right to complain to the courts in such cases, he said.

Nothing is clear in Cambodia.
Especially the cost of the PLAN issued from the land management.
In Phnom Penh, it's could cost to you more than 10 000.
In Pailin, it's could cost to you 600 per PLAN. The problem is that your lot size is only 50m by 50.
