The Supreme Court of Justice ruled unanimously that the common civil procedure code applies to expropriation proceedings unless specific regulations exist. The relator argued that since the expropriated party had not appointed a representative, resided at the tribunal, or chosen a domicile there, notification was unnecessary under Article 255 of the Civil Procedure Code. The court agreed, establishing that the general procedural regime governs these cases absent special statutory provisions.
