Lawyers Lead Call for Law Review
The Jordanian Bar Association emphasized the importance of reconsidering the draft Law on Real Estate Ownership, amended in 2026, due to its inclusion of fundamental legal and constitutional concerns related to individuals' rights and the principle of separation of powers. It pointed out that the authority to adjudicate cases of shared property removal should not remain with administrative committees but should be returned to the regular courts to ensure justice. The association also reminded of the need to expedite the resolution of these cases, which currently face delays of up to two months. Additionally, it warned that the proposed amendments to expropriation compensations diminish the affected parties' right to fair compensation, especially with the inclusion of railways within the scope of expropriation without compensation. The association called for excluding future projects from free confiscation to safeguard citizens’ constitutional rights.
