The institutional development of a state is critical to the progress and advancement of modern societies. The clarity and compatibility of its legislative foundations with the constitution are important indicators of a state’s level of civilization. To achieve this, a legislative system with integrated features and frameworks must be created, with a general legislative policy that takes into account the supreme interest of the state.
Regarding the Syrian real estate issue, approximately one hundred and sixty legislations regulate the right of ownership, indicating significant legislative inflation. This poses obstacles that impede the efficiency of the system, and this is why various studies, namely “What after the unjust real estate laws?” and “Syrian Regime Institutions for Real Estate Development and how they Operate” were subjected to criticism and scrutiny. These papers unfortunately only provide generic proposals to reform the real estate legal system.
The problem of legislative inflation in the real estate sector raises the question of intervention policies that can be proposed to the legislative authority and mechanisms for the real estate legal system.
This paper proposes intrusive policies to the legislative authority to address the issue of legislative inflation and redesign the real estate system to prevent overlapping between laws and define the competence of each institution concerned with real estate affairs. This will facilitate citizens’ real estate affairs by promoting cooperation between institutions instead of overlapping powers.
