The Right of Pre-Emption According to the Law on Islands

Zakonom o otocima uspostavljeno je posebno stvarnopravno uređenje za otoke, a njegovom posljednjom novelom u Zakon su unesene odredbe o zakonskom pravu prvokupa i ograničenjima u pravnom prometu. Uu radu je detaljno obrađena problematika polja primjene zakonskog prava prvokupa koje je prošireno s kupoprodaje i na neke druge, (ali ne sve) dobrovoljne raspoložbe nekretninama, kao i na prodaju u stečajnom i ovršnom postupku. Uupravo ta proširena primjena otvara brojna pitanja provedivosti Zakona, kao i njegove ustavnosti i usklađenosti s načelom jamstva vlasništva i razmjernosti ograničenja vlasništva. Zakonsko pravo prvokupa, kako je uređeno Zakonom o otocima, u znatnoj mjeri odstupa od klasičnog instituta prava prvokupa i općeg stvarnopravnog i obveznopravnog uređenja, kako u hrvatskom, tako i u poredbenom pravu. Aautor također ukazuje na podnormiranost instituta zakonskog prava prvokupa općenito (konkurencija više zakonskih prava prvokupa, vremenska (ne)vezanost odlukom o nekorištenju zakonskog prava prvokupa) i potrebu usuglašavanja zakona koji uređuju tu materiju međusobno, kao i u odnosu na druge zakone na koje upućuju.A special legal regulation of real property has been established for islands with the enactment of the Law on Islands. Recent amendments of the Law introduced the provisions on right of pre-emption regulated by the law and limitations in legal operations. The article presents a comprehensive analysis of problemacy concerning the field of application of the right of pre-emption regulated by the law, which has been extended from buying and selling to some others (however, not all) voluntary disposals of real property as well as to selling in insolvency and enforcement procedures. The extended application opens numerous questions concerning the implementation of the Law in practice as well as its constitutionality and compliance with the principle of guaranteeing property and proportional limitations of property. The right to pre-emption regulated by the law, as it has been regulated by the Law on Islands, significantly differs from the classical institute of the right of pre-emption and general regulation of real property and civil obligations in Croatian and comparative law. The author also points at lack of normative provisions concerning the institute of right of pre-emption regulated by the law in general (collision of several rights of pre-emption regulated by the law, (absence of) temporally restraint by the decision on nonusing the right of pre-emption regulated by the law) and need to harmonize laws regulating this matter among themselves and other laws referred to in their provisions
