LA NULIDAD DE PLENO DERECHO DE LOS CONVENIOS URBANÍSTICOS CONCERTADOS POR EL PROMOTOR URBANÍSTICO Y LA POSIBLE INSCRIPCIÓN EN EL REGISTRO DE LA PROPIEDAD DE CARGAS Y LIMITACIONES NO EXIGIDAS POR LA LEGISLACIÓN URBANÍSTICA. (UNA INTERPRETACIÓN DE LOS ARTS. 16.3 Y 19.1 DEL TEXTO REFUNDIDO DE LA LEY DEL SUELO DE 2008).

Abstract

Article 16.3 of the revised 2008 Land Act (which nullifies development agreements between a developer and the government that establish obligations or considerations in addition to or more burdensome than the legally pertinent obligations or considerations and therefore are to the detriment of the affected homeowners) has created some difficulties in interpretation. One such difficulty arises when article 16.3 is placed in relationship with article 19.1 of the same text, which states that obligations not provided for legally through recording in the property registration system may be contested. For some interpretations, article 16.3 plainly and simply makes the final indent of article 19.1 moot. However, one adequate interpretation of article 16.3 states that the article must be limited only to those cases where an individual who is not the homeowner is allowed by law to exercise the powers of disposal and physical or legal configuration of property not belonging to that individual, that is, where action is taken through Compensation Boards, a developer/agent or the holder of a public works concession, or similar persons or entities provided for by planning legislation.
