Investments are currently abundant due to economic development and the increased need for investors to establish projects that will raise the country's economic level by utilizing funds and benefiting from these investments in employing the workforce, especially those projects located on state-owned land. Consequently, the investor incurs civil liability. This liability is primarily tortious, as it arises when investors fail to fulfill their legal obligations to the entity that granted them the right to invest on its land, namely the state. This necessitates compensation according to the rules of tort liability, resulting from the error that caused damage to these lands.
