The procedure for expropriation in the public interest is that by which the State may, in the public interest, and subject to fair and prior compensation, compel any person expropriated to relinquish ownership of a building or a right in real property to the State[1]. It applies both to land subject to the rules of private ownership and to the dependencies of the National Estate. This mechanism, which is monitored by the authorized State expropriating service, applies to both State land and private real estate[2].
