CURRENT PROBLEMS OF LEGAL REGULATION
OF WITHDRAWAL OF THE LAND PLOT FOR THE STATE NEEDS
Annotation. In article separate problems of legal regulation of
seizure of land for the state needs, the theoretical questions connected with
use of norms of various branches of the right are considered.
Keywords:
legal regulation, withdrawal, land plot, state need, land relations.
Recently speak about the arising disputes between the authorities
withdrawing the land plots allocated under construction and owners or the
actual owners of housing and the land plots on which this housing is located
much. The research of standard materials and jurisprudence demonstrates that
these questions are relevant also today.
It should be noted that now there is properly no developed legal
mechanism of seizure of land for the state and municipal needs, and it leads to
impossibility in due time to satisfy public requirements, to realize national
projects, to increase the rates of housing construction and so forth.
Besides, the earth of the cities and other settlements always were the
most attractive to investors, and new construction often affects the rights of
owners of the land plots and real estate objects which are on it therefore the
conflict is born of private interests with the interests of both builders, and
public authorities, and local governments.
Seizure of land on which there are premises for the state and municipal
needs leads to the compulsory termination of the property right of persons to
individual and certain things - premises.
The principle of inviolability of property and inadmissibility of any
deprivation of property besides that it is formulated in Housing, Civil and
Land codes of RK, first of all is defined in the Constitution of RK, bringing
him to the level of the constitutional principle.
"So, according to Art. 26 of the Constitution of RK nobody can be
deprived of the property, differently as by a court decision. Compulsory
alienation of property can be made for the state needs in exceptional cases
provided by the law on condition of his equivalent compensation" [1].
And at the same time, as marks out B.Zh. Abdraimov,
not less important property in legal relationship there is a protection of
public interests. Especially obviously it is shown in the housing sphere [2].
The land plots and the real estate which is on them are objects of legal
relationship of various branch accessory - land, civil, housing,
constitutional. Law-enforcement practice reveals the problems caused by
existence of conflict-of-laws rules, the specified branches, gaps in the
legislation.
E.N. Novokhatskaya, disclosing the content of the property right, I have
noted that the subjective property right consists of two competences. "The
first competence - to make certain actions concerning a thing - contains three
sub competences: to own, use and dispose of a thing. The second competence -
competence of the requirement directed to abstention of the obliged persons
from actions which would prevent the owner to carry out the competences stated
above.
The limited real right is not isolated part of the property right, and
existing along with him and consisting though from derivative of him, but
independent legal opportunities the right for a thing with which establishment
the owner doesn't lose the competences" [3].
Legal regulation of the relations on seizure of land for the state and
municipal needs in our legislation in the analysis can be considered in two
aspects: first, from the moment of making decision on withdrawal of the land
plot there doesn't attack the termination of the property right at the person
this land plot, and here then it is necessary to talk about restriction of the
property right, secondly, after the expiration of a year, in case of the
owner's disagreement with the decision on withdrawal of the land plot or not
achievement with the owner of the agreement on the redemption price or other
conditions of repayment, there are judicial proceedings which can drag on for a
long time.
Yes, we can agree with this dual situation of two competences before
making decision on the redemption price and other conditions, but the owner of
the land plot which is subject to withdrawal for the state or municipal needs
from the moment of the state registration of the decision on withdrawal of the
site before reaching an agreement or adoption by court of the decision on
repayment of the site can own, use, dispose of him at discretion and make the
necessary expenses providing use of the site according to its purpose and also
the owner can own, use, dispose of him at discretion and make the necessary expenses
providing use of premises according to his appointment.
There is relevant also a clarification of the legal nature of the right
of the state for the compulsory termination of the right of a private property
for the land plots. In regulation of the land relations the tendency to gradual
refusal of the absolute nature of the right of a private property for the earth
is observed [4].
It is difficult to agree with this point of view as the property right
hasn't stopped, respectively, and competences of the owner have to remain for
the owner completely too including orders, however this power is most
vulnerable. At seizure of land, being in a private property, the state realizes
powers as the public power. "The right of the state for compulsory alienation
of a private property naturally follows from a primacy of policy over the
right, forces over the principle, - notes U. Mateja. - Need of introduction of
such institute is expression of political will of the state" [5].
By consideration of institute of compulsory withdrawal of the earth in
the public purposes it is impossible to do without analysis of difference
between the private-law (civil) and public relations. As V.A. Evstegneev notes,
transactions in which public educations participate, quite often have a social
component (social orientation) which isn't allowing to rank them as especially
market. The transaction is a private-law concept as each party pursues in her
only the interests. Therefore it is impossible to recognize transfer of the
private earth to public property as her compulsory repayment as the
transaction, but many common features allow to consider it the quasitransaction
[6].
Shortcomings of the mechanism of seizure of land for the state and
municipal needs are shown, for example, that the public authorities authorized
to make decisions on withdrawal, an order of preparation and adoption of these
decisions are defined by the federal land legislation, however uniform
structure of the bodies authorized to make the decision on seizure of land for
state and, respectively, executive bodies of local government (for municipal
needs) aren't defined [7]. Therefore it is worth agreeing with I.V. Bogomyakov
who offers: "The decision on withdrawal of the land plot for the state or
municipal needs is accepted respectively by federal executive authority on
management of federal property, executive authority of the subject of RK on
management of the property which is owned by the subject RK or executive body
of local government on management of municipal property" [8]. The uniform
structure of the bodies making decisions on withdrawal will allow to solve
further a problem of the responsible subject for compensation of the withdrawn
land plot and premises which are on him as in jurisprudence cases when one body
makes the decision meet, and shifts compensation to another, and the owner as a
result suffers.
According to E.A. Konjuh, it is necessary to understand objectively
arisen socially significant requirements determined by the law, need for which
satisfaction is caused by the interests of a wide range of subjects, as the
state (municipal) needs, realized in the order established by the law by public
educations. The given concept contains expression "socially significant requirements",
still L.A. Kasso specified in "The Russian land right" that public
interest in a construction for which the land plot is intended has to be a
reason for expropriation. Public interest meant advantage for more or less
extensive group of the population, but it is optional to all residents of the
state, for example to construction of hospital or church [9].
In the foreign legislation this criterion is formulated with some
distinctive features in the concrete states. In Germany the specified concept
is formulated as "public benefit", the USA - as "the socially
useful purposes", Portugal and Turkey - "public interests",
Sweden - "important public interests", Italy - "common
interests", Belarus - "public need", in Spain - "public
expediency or social interests" [10]. In the given examples public, but
not the state interest is the cornerstone of withdrawal. In the legislation of
RK state interest is the cornerstone, and now there are disputes on need to
expand the list of the bases of withdrawal of the land plot for the state and
municipal needs. According to V.A. Yevstigneyev, the concept "state and
municipal needs" can include not only public requirements, but also is
private the economic interests of the specified bodies as ordinary owners [11].
The main characteristic of market economy is existence of the right of a
private property. At his absence businessmen would hardly undertake risk of
investments in any assets and left the present possibility to other subjects of
economic activity, and, as we know, the lack of investments considerably slows
down development of society.
The majority of the countries has drafted necessary laws for ordering of
the procedure of withdrawal to limit the prevailing right of the state for a
possibility of withdrawal of lands. Such laws, as a rule: 1) establish cases
when the state has the right to use withdrawal mechanisms; 2) describe the
rights and possible actions of participants in withdrawal cases; 3) define the
types of losses caused to owners of the rights for the withdrawn property who
are subject to compensation; 4) establish an order of determination of the size
of these losses [12].
Acts for withdrawal in many developed countries, besides the standard of
"the fair market value", are supplemented with various practical
recommendations. So, for example, in the USA authorities have to compensate
completely losses of owners of the rights for the land plots to restore the
land use conditions existing until withdrawal. The changes in the cost of the
land plots (not very well, decrease or growth) caused by making decision on
withdrawal aren't considered. The state pays the market value of the land plot
existing before publication of the decision on withdrawal.
In Great Britain the authorities knowing the procedure of withdrawal at
first try to agree with all participants of the transaction about compensation
of the arisen losses [13]. Some countries offer to "the fair market
value" an additional award in connection with the compulsory nature of
withdrawal. In cases of compulsory seizure of land the state acts as the
voluntary buyer. However not always owners of the land plots wish to sell them
[14].
Authorities of various countries have developed mechanisms of
establishment of the big amount of compensations in comparison with the market
value of forcibly withdrawn sites. Great Britain pays the damages caused by
expropriation of farmlands which has led to violation of a crop rotation [15].
Besides losses for the withdrawn earth of agricultural use, the owner of the
rights for this site has the right for compensation of losses of agricultural
production provided that: 1) this subject within the next 3 years planned to
receive benefit from agricultural production; 2) this subject loses benefit in
connection with withdrawal of the land plot; 3) this person within the next 3
years begins new production on other land plot.
Summing up the result, it should be noted that in the majority of the
countries methodical recommendations about calculation of the size of the
losses caused to owners of the rights for the land plots withdrawn for the
state needs are developed.
The obvious found gaps in legislative regulation of this or that
institute of substantive or procedural law, a disparate in terminology generate
that the same question is differently regulated in the acts adopted by a time
approximately at the same time. As they say in such cases, standards of various
acts "aren't joined" among themselves and create quite often
difficult problems for the law enforcement official. All this can be regarded
as legislative marriage which needs to be eliminated.
In Kazakhstan in the organizational and legal plan the mechanism of
relationship between all participants of process of seizure of land isn't
defined, including the body (more precisely specific officials) which will
organize all process of seizure of land isn't defined; It is necessary to make
changes and to the organizational mechanism of carrying out this work. The
possibility of creation of uniform public authority on withdrawal or expansion
of functions existing which competence would include continuous monitoring,
collecting and data processing on the land plots preparation and holding a
procedure of withdrawal, will allow to avoid situations against which the
estimated organizations at work in this direction of the activity come up,
namely in lack of information in the conditions of need of urgent carrying out
estimated works.
It is very important to be guided at direct assessment of the withdrawn
land plots by information on objects analogs (within a method of comparison of
sales as most reliable and demonstrable method of assessment in this case) in
territories as close as possible to a withdrawal zone. In these territories
initial information hasn't undergone distortion in connection with the begun
procedure of seizure of land for the state or municipal needs. The analysis of
the legislation of foreign countries shows that a possibility of use of data on
objects - analogs (first of all in the comparable zones which are most close to
a withdrawal zone) more than it is proved.
Improvement of the legislation and also methodical providing on the basis
of the offered offers will allow to carry out more reliable assessment of
market value of the land plots that will allow to receive, economic effect to
all participants of the real estate market. It will allow to observe; economic
interests both business and each citizen, and municipalities and public
authorities that as a result will affect more positive: image of the state and
also independent consultants of estimated activity.
Application complex, approach to improvement as a result will provide a
possibility of creation of more transparent system of relationship of all
parties involved in this process on the principle of equality. It not only will
save the budgetary funds demanded for implementation of other projects, but
also will strengthen guarantees to real investors and land users of stable
conditions of their activity.
