Theoretical Analysis Of Land Legal Liability: Realities And Perspectives.

Abstract

In the context of continuous transformations in the field of land relations, the intensification of regulations on land administration and use and the entry into force on April 1, 2025, of the new Land Code in the Republic of Moldova, the issue of legal liability for violation of land legislation is gaining increasing importance in theoretical and practical terms. Although this type of liability is not expressly established as a distinct form within the classical system of legal liability, contemporary social and legal realities require a reanalysis of the specificity of land-related illegal acts and applicable sanctions. Given the complexity of regulated relations – from land ownership, to agricultural, urban and ecological regimes, landowners' rights, etc., the question arises to what extent the violation of land norms can be treated as an autonomous field of application of legal liability or does it undermine the traditional forms of liability, such as civil, contraventional and criminal.
