Land disputes often arise due to conflicting ownership claims and legal interpretations of land rights. This study analyzes the application of contract law principles in resolving civil land disputes through a case study of Decision Number 11/PDT/2020/PT MND issued by the Manado High Court. The findings indicate that the principles of pacta sunt servanda and good faith play a crucial role in ensuring legal certainty and fairness for all parties. The court’s ruling affirms that a valid agreement must be respected and enforced accordingly. Furthermore, this study recommends strengthening alternative dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation and arbitration to enhance the efficiency of land dispute resolution.
