Summary/Abstract: The Romanian law allows the authorities to intervene and expropriate certain privately owned immovable assets in order to transfer them into the public property, for the performance of local, county or national investment works meant to serve public utility purposes and foster social growth. The forced transfer of certain privately owned immovable assets into the public property is subject to the observance of the expropriation lawfulness terms, the determination of the public utility cause and the establishment of the individuals’ compensation for the expropriated asset, as stipulated in the Constitution of Romania, the Civil Code and other regulations adopted in this respect, as well as in the Protocol 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
