The Directorate General for Legal Certainty and Public Faith has ruled on an appeal filed by an adjacent landowner against the registration of a land consolidation carried out following proceedings under Article 199 of the Mortgage Law. The appellant argued that the consolidation included a public domain path belonging to the Nigrán Town Council, which contains essential infrastructure (sanitation, electricity, and street lighting). The procedure was initiated following the submission of a consolidation deed to the Vigo Property Registry No. 6 (Art. 199 of the Mortgage Law).
For owners undertaking land consolidations, this serves as a reminder to verify that the new graphic base does not include public domain assets or local paths, as the failure of the Administration (in this case, the Town Council) to submit objections may lead to the registration of the consolidation (Art. 199 of the Mortgage Law). For adjacent landowners, the ruling emphasises the importance of submitting technical objections that demonstrate the existence of infrastructure or public ownership to prevent the consolidation of registry entries that affect the public domain.
