Título IX. De la reversión

The expropriated person or his legitimate representative may initiate review proceedings in the following cases:

1.When the expropriating party gives the property a purpose different from that established when carrying out the expropriation, unless the change of purpose is ordered by law and the substitution is for reasons of collective interest.

2.Where the work that required the expropriation is not carried out, the person who suffered it may request reversion of the property, reimbursing the value received, plus improvements if any were made or subtracting any depreciation, as applicable.

Improvements or depreciation shall be assessed by experts.

The time limit for exercising the right of reversion in the first case is fixed at one year counting from the time a different purpose was given to the property and, in the second, from the time the expropriating party entered into possession of the property.

The reversion file shall be initiated before the respective Ministry, where it shall be substantiated and concluded with only the opinion of experts within a time limit of thirty days.
