Plaintiffs facing opposition from neighbours: 30 days to appeal to the Directorate General

The resolution of 17 March 2026 establishes that when the Administration or neighbours oppose the registration of an alternative georeferenced graphic representation, the plaintiff has the right to lodge an appeal with the Directorate General of Legal Certainty and Public Faith within 30 days of the notification of the refusal (Art. 199.2 of the Mortgage Law). This mechanism provides a formal channel for appeal against third-party opposition, particularly from the Administration, in procedures for the rectification of property descriptions.

How it affects those involved

Plaintiffs seeking the registration of georeferenced graphic representations can now appeal to the Directorate General in the event of opposition from neighbours, including the Administration. This increases the protection of property rights against administrative blockages. Local authorities may see an increase in the number of formal appeals. Property advisors should inform their clients about this new deadline and appeal procedure.
