Re: Statute of Limitation on loan default

Hi TD

I expect Sunlover1972 may have resolved his/her problem as they've not been active on this forum for more than six months.

As for the Statute of Limitation Law, you can find a machine translation at Statute of Limitations Law (Law 66(I)/2012).

Re: Zone C3 Agricutural Land

It will be interesting to see what happens, there could be a conflict in the law.

I believe those who inherit property still need Council of Ministers approval before they can own it.
