Dominican Republic legal and procedural reform proposals

Overview

Legal experts in the Dominican Republic have proposed various reforms to existing laws to improve judicial efficiency and public safety.

Supreme Court Justice Anselmo Alejandro Bello Ferreras suggested reforming Law 108-05 regarding the Real Estate Registry. He argued the current law is insufficient for modern complexities and proposed moving non-controversial land surveying and parcel regularization to administrative channels to reduce the judicial caseload.

Separately, Eddy Alcántara proposed reforms to procedural rules and sectoral laws to better combat organized crime. He argued that judicial processes should be more rigorous to prevent those accused of serious crimes from obtaining freedom too easily, suggesting that current legal guarantees may inadvertently incentivize criminal behavior.
