Updated price claim for land sold under subsequently annulled title and interpretation of "successive sales" under Land Fund Law
Romania (RO)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Romania (Inalta Curte de Casație și Justiție) rejected as inadmissible the reference for the uniformity of law submitted by the Gorj County Court, thereby leaving the lower court's procedural posture unchanged. The dispute concerned the interpretation and application of Article III(24) of Law No. 169/1997, which amends the Land Fund Law No. 18/1991, specifically regarding the conditions under which the updated price of land sold via a subsequently declared null title could be claimed through "successive land sales." The Court determined that the referral was inadmissible without engaging in substantive analysis of the specific legal question. The decisive procedural basis for the dismissal was the requirement for a valid reference mechanism under the Civil Procedure Code, which was not met by the submitting court.
