DECISION No. 1 OF JANUARY 18, 1996 ON CC No. 29/95
Motion by 56 Members of Parliament who approached the Constitutional Court on November 20,1995 to challenge the constitutionality of Art. 7 of the Law on the Reinstatement of Ownership Over Nationalised Immovable Property (LROONIP).
The Constitutional Court ruled that the provision of Art. 7 of the LROONIP that annuls transactions concluded in "breach of statutory acts, abuse of position by party functionaries or government officials or abuse of power" did not contravene the Constitution. Rights and interests acquired in contravention to legislation or decorum in the hypothesis of Art. 7 of the LROONIP shall not be opposed to the Constitution and laws of the Republic of Bulgaria nor shall they be justified by them. Misconduct shall not entitle to rights.
