Expropriation For Public Utility Purposes Under The Provisions Of The New Law, Mohamed El Kechir
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
Public authorities need real estate to manage public utilities. While the state's properties are subject to a special legal regime, the administration typically acquires land through ordinary methods, acting as a private individual under private law rules. However, when such ordinary acquisition proves impossible, the legislator allows the state to resort to expropriation for public utility purposes to avoid paralysis of state activities. The Moroccan Parliament has approved a new law on expropriation for public utility, which updates and governs this exceptional power. This text introduces the legal framework balancing public infrastructure needs with private property rights.

On The Third Paragraph Of Article 10 Of The Dahir Of November 16, 1946, Relating To Ownership Of Apartments, Abdelkader Azkri
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
This article examines the legal ambiguity in Article 10 of the 1946 Dahir on apartment ownership. It questions whether the union manager's duty to preserve, maintain, clean, and repair common areas creates an overlap between the general assembly's decision-making authority and the manager's executive functions. While the assembly typically manages both routine and non-routine matters, the author argues that in exceptional cases, the manager may exercise both decision-making and executive powers under the initiative authority granted by the third paragraph of Article 10. This dual role raises two specific legal problems regarding the proper allocation of responsibilities.

Space And Protection Of Property Rights: A Comparison Between The Ordinary And Registered Land Systems, Al Montassir El Daoudi
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
This article highlights the critical relationship between Moroccans and their land, where attachment can sometimes lead to extreme behaviors, complicating real estate transactions. The author refers to previous key symposia, including a 1978 Ministry of Justice conference on land problems and the 1983 National Days on Land Registration organized by the Land Conservation Directorate. These meetings aimed to unify judicial precedents, accelerate dispute resolution, and simplify registration procedures to encourage citizens to register their properties. The discussion contrasts the ordinary land system with the registered (conservative) system, emphasizing the need to protect property rights while addressing practical and legal obstacles …
Contracting In The Real Estate Field,

Contracting In The Real Estate Field, Mohamed Kheiri
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
This article examines why real estate contracting was chosen as a key topic, as it concerns all current and future participants in the property sector, involving both registered and unregistered lands. The author argues that this subject lies at the heart of problems faced by judges, public authorities, and citizens. While most global property systems require notarized formal contracts to ensure legal compliance and prevent disputes, the Moroccan legislator has departed from this principle. Moroccan law grants contracting parties the freedom to choose any form—official or informal—despite the substantial legal differences between them. This flexibility raises concerns about legal security …
Issues Arising From Land Registration And Their Impact On Real Estate Development And Urban Planning,

Issues Arising From Land Registration And Their Impact On Real Estate Development And Urban Planning, Rachid El Iraki
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
While land registration under the Moroccan system (established August 12, 1913) enhances property security and stabilizes ownership rights, it suffers from significant flaws. These include rigid deadlines, fragmented procedures, excessive authority granted to the registrar, and the absolute weight of registered entries. Notably, the system rejects acquisitive prescription (adverse possession) for registered lands and creates confusion over the concept of “possession” (ḥawz), particularly under Islamic legal principles concerning donations. These formal and substantive defects hinder real estate revitalization and urban development, demanding urgent reform to balance legal certainty with practical flexibility.

Introductory Report On Land Regime, Urban Planning, And Property Development, Mohamed Drissi Alami
Revue Marocaine de Droit, d'Economie et de Gestion (Moroccan Journal of Law, Economics and Management)
The intersection of land tenure, urban planning, and property development demands critical examination due to their common denominator: real estate. Properties must undergo essential transformations to comply with global development planning, urban organization, and social policies aimed at resolving the housing crisis. Land and buildings cannot continue to obey a status similar to movable or intangible assets. Abstract legal reasoning fails to address the integration of legal, political, economic, social, and cultural factors. Property law requires revision accounting for urban planning necessities and property development manifestations. Current legislative concerns lack conviction for fundamental reorientation. The governing concept of property remains …
