The Supreme Court (High Court of Cassation and Justice) admitted the request for the resolution of a legal question and established the definitive legal principle that the provisions of Article 26 of the Land Fund Law No. 18/1991 have been abrogated by the entry into force of Article 1.138 of the Civil Code regarding the legal regime of intra-urban land plots that revert to local public administration authorities upon the death or lack of heirs of the owners. This ruling arose from a dispute initiated by the Bucharest Court of Appeal regarding the applicable law for such land reversion cases, with the decisive legal basis being the supremacy of the new Civil Code provisions over the specialized land legislation.
