Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court accepted the State's cassation appeal against the lower court's dismissal of its claim for prescriptive acquisition of forest land. The State argued that the defendants failed to prove continuous possession exceeding the statutory period, while the defendants contended their use was interrupted by administrative acts. The court ruled that the lower court erred in applying the burden of proof regarding the continuity of possession, thereby remanding the case for further proceedings on the merits.

Art. 141 § 1 k.c.; Art. 142 § 1 k.c.: The court established that the burden of proving the continuity of possession for prescriptive acquisition lies with the claimant, and a finding of interruption by administrative acts requires specific evidence to defeat the presumption of continuous use.
