Legal regulation of acquisition of unregistered property

Abstract

The property is of great importance since the foot, considering that the land is a component of production, and its association with State sovereignty, hence the ownership of real estate is of great importance especially in the economic life and therefore must be built on strong foundations to achieve stability and persistence.
It is on this basis that the Iraqi legislature is keen to regulate real estate actions in a manner that guarantees legal protection and the consolidation of the rights arising therefrom, in a solid foundation that secures secularism. One manifestation of that protection was that any action on a drug must be registered in the competent chamber or that the conduct was invalid.
     Thus, the Iraqi Civil Code (No. 40) of 1951 amended the provisions of the rules on real property ownership, including the method of acquiring ownership, and the Iraqi legislator did not confine itself to those rules, but issued the Law on Real Estate Registration No. 43 of 1971 amending and making the Department of Real Estate Registration the entity Competent to register real estate and judicial decisions that have a bit degree and what is in its judgment on the original land rights and dependence and the transfer of these rights to the public back.
