Claimants denied land description correction due to physical identity doubts

The General Directorate of Legal Security and Public Record denied the registration of a land description and georeferencing amendment due to doubts about the property's physical identity against the registry, as the change exceeds the scope of Article 199 of the Mortgage Law (art. 1).

In 2 key points

  1. Rectification is denied due to doubts about physical reality compared to the registration (art. 1)
  2. Any alteration of physical reality goes beyond the scope of Article 199 of the Mortgage Law (art. 1)

How it affects those involved

The affected owners lose the possibility of correcting the description of their property due to doubts about its physical reality. Neighbouring parties may benefit from the protection of physical reality. Registry authorities maintain the validity of the registered entry. Legal advisors must review the grounds of rectification requests and assess whether there are doubts regarding physical reality.
