Supreme Court quashes administrative decision denying property return due to missing 7-year construction start proof.

The Supreme Court quashed the administrative decision denying the return of expropriated land because lower courts failed to verify if construction began within seven years of the final expropriation order. The applicant argued that mere paving with gravel did not constitute the required work for the planned street, while the administration claimed the street existed and functioned. The court ruled that without explicit findings of specific construction activities within the statutory period, the denial of return violated the relevant property law provisions.
