In the Zhambyl region, a court lifted a seizure on a land plot that a woman had purchased back in 2013, but due to lack of property registration, it remained in the previous owner's name. As a result, it was seized under enforcement proceedings for the seller's debt. However, the court ruled the bailiff's actions unlawful and freed the property from restrictions, reports infohub.kz.
According to the official Telegram channel of the Zhambyl regional courts, the Shu District Court considered a civil case between two women over lifting a ban on disposing of a land plot. In July 2013, the plaintiff purchased a land plot in the village of Tole Bi, Shu district, from the defendant under a notarized sale contract. However, ownership was not registered, so the plot remained listed under the previous owner.
In 2024, under enforcement proceedings to collect a debt of 1.4 million tenge owed by the defendant to a bank, a private bailiff seized the land plot because it was still legally registered to the debtor. The plaintiff went to court, stating she was not a debtor in the enforcement proceedings. The bank asked to dismiss the claim, citing the lack of property registration.
The court found that the 2013 sale contract was valid, unchallenged, and not declared void. Thus, the lack of timely registration of rights to the land plot cannot restrict the rights of a bona fide purchaser due to errors or inaction of others. The court's decision freed the land plot from the seizure imposed by the bailiff's order. The decision has entered into legal force.
