Constitutional Court Upholds Construction Ban
The Supreme Constitutional Court ruled that the lawsuit challenging the provisions of the Penal Code that punish illegal construction on state lands is unconstitutional. The Court reaffirmed that the legislator criminalized acts of building on public lands in response to the need to protect public property, particularly agricultural land and vacant spaces, to prevent violations against them. The penalties, which range from two years’ imprisonment to a fine of up to one million pounds, are proportionate to the severity of the offense and ensure individualized sentencing. Additionally, the Court preserved the judge’s authority to suspend the execution of the fine, rendering the provisions both constitutional and appropriate for their purpose of safeguarding state assets.
