I'm new to this board and wanted some advice about some Cypriot law if possible.
Does anyone know if majority rules in a court in Cyprus. My Brothers and sisters have some land we want to sell, and one member of the family is being awkward and doesnt want to.
He is at this point flatly refusing, giving no logical explanation as to why.
If we take this as far as a court, can the majority rule, and a Judge rule he has to sell, or let us buy him out?
Thanks
Hello Silvercar,
you don't need to go to court over this. This can be done at the land registry. The majority certainly rules and he can be forced to sell his share.
What will happen is the land registry will place this in auction, they will set the price and either he buys you or you buy him. Since you are the most he will need alot more money to buy you out so it will be easier for you. Once you have it, then you will be free to dispose of it.
If you seek the assitance of a 'Dikolavo' usually based at the land registry waiting areas, or indeed in nearby offices, I am sure they can help with the forms.
Good luck.
Would you mind tell me where you land is based and its size ???
residential /Agricultural ??
