Public Administrations: boundary delimitation resolutions are sufficient titles for the land registration of livestock tracks

The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled that the resolution approving an administrative boundary delimitation is a sufficient title to rectify contradictory registry situations and to register public domain assets (Art. 8.4 Law 3/1995). The ruling dismisses the suspension imposed by the Registrar of Rota, who argued that georeferencing did not validate the encroachment on private estates. It establishes that Land Registry entries cannot prevail over the public domain nature of the delimited assets (Art. 8.3 Law 3/1995).

In 3 key points

  1. Land Registry entries do not prevail over the public domain nature of delimited assets, Art. 8.3 Law 3/1995 (art. 8.3)
  2. The boundary delimitation resolution is a sufficient title for the registration of public domain assets, Art. 8.4 Law 3/1995 (art. 8.4)
  3. Affected parties may pursue legal actions to defend their rights following the boundary delimitation resolution, Art. 8.4 Law 3/1995 (art. 8.4)

How it affects those involved

For Public Administrations, this confirms the effectiveness of their boundary delimitation acts for the registration of livestock tracks, even if there is overlap with already registered private estates (Art. 8.3 and 8.4 Law 3/1995). For owners of registered estates affected by such overlap, the rule does not prevent the registration of the delimitation, but rather shifts the burden to them to pursue any legal actions they deem appropriate to defend their rights following the registration (Art. 8.4 Law 3/1995).
