THE LEGAL STATUS OF THE OWNER OF THE EXPROPRIATED PROPERTY IN THE REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

Summary/Abstract: The text analyses the legal status of the owner of the expropriated real estate as the weaker party in expropriation proceedings. Expropriation is a forceful loss of the right of ownership aimed at exercising the public interest of the state or local administration. The expropriation creates a situation where the owner of the expropriated real estate becomes a “victim” of a set of interests. The legal system of the Republic of Macedonia protects the rights of the owner of the expropriated real estate by the constitutional proclamation of the right of just compensation and by the special Expropriation Act. The detailed analysis of the Expropriation Act shows that there is an adequate level of protection of the weaker party but the fact remains that there are provisions that may put this party in unfavorable position.
