Compulsory Purchase

When Public Authorities carry out public works (as for instance, highways, railways, airports), or when they apply provisions included in development plans (in order to build public squares, parks, hospitals, schools etc.), they are often forced to acquire land by means of compulsory purchase.

Pareja & Associats, Advocats offers integrated legal advice covering the proceedings for the approval of projects authorising the purchase, placing particular emphasis on their environmental impact and opportunity. It also provides legal counsel in relation to the proceedings for the purchase: determination of affected property and rights, assessment of compensation, settlement and, if necessary, statement of pleas before an expropriation jury, as well as litigation before the Administrative Courts in order to defend clients’ interests in case of appeal against the compensation established.
