The Right to recover expropriated real estate in French and Jordanian law

Abstract

Granting the administration the authority to expropriate property enables it to seize real estate necessary for the completion of public projects, and the administration’s failure to comply with this constitutes an unjustified assault on individual property. Legislation in France and Jordan has included special provisions that allow owners of expropriated real estate to demand the recovery of their properties if the administration violates them. Terms of ownership. This study aimed to demonstrate the extent of protection these provisions provide to expropriated property owners.

The study concludes with several results, the most notable of which are: French law and Jordanian law allow the owner of the expropriated property the Right to recover his property, which constitutes one of the basic guarantees to limit the administration’s arbitrariness in using its powers to expropriate property for the public benefit. The study offers a number of recommendations, the most important of which is the necessity of stipulating in Jordanian law that the owner of the expropriated property be given the option to recover it if the administration abandons the expropriated property and does not obligate him to recover it against his will.
