Transfer of rights in rem to land plots

At the present stage of economic development the problem of differentiating the norms of civil and land legislation in particular the legal regulation of the transfer of proprietary rights to land plots is becoming increasingly relevant. Chapter 17 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation Right of Property and Other Proprietary Rights became effective only with the adoption of the Federal Law No. 45-FZ of 16.04.2001 and had no practical significance for the regulation of land relations and consideration of land disputes. The Land Code of the Russian Federation Article 3(3) of which provides that proprietary relations regarding the possession use and disposal of land plots as well as transactions therewith shall be regulated by civil legislation unless otherwise provided by land legislation or special federal laws has not provided an unambiguous answer to the above problem which remains unresolved both in law and in judicial practice. There is still competition between the norms of civil and land legislation which leads to the ambiguity of law enforcement practice and the emergence of contradictions and conflicts.
