The intervention of the public prosecutors in the obligatory expropriation procedures regarding the Circular No. 6/2019, of 18 march 2019, of the General Prosecutor’s Office

Abstract

The Circular No. 6/2019, of 18 march 2019, of the General Prosecutor’s Office about the intervention of the Public Prosecutors in the obligatory expropriation procedures, referred by a resolution of the General Directorate of Registers and Notaries of 11 april 2019, is definitely of interest because it implies a re-reading of the role of the Public Prosecutors in the expropriatory procedures, in accordance with article 5.1 of the Obligatory Expropriation Act of 16 december, if the owners didn't appear or were legally incapacitated without a legal tutor, or if the property was contentious. This question is equally relevant from the point of view of the Land Registry because of the extension of the registry control of administrative documents to the completion of the essential formalities and rules of administrative procedures.
