The Forest Code of 1910 applied to the forests belonging to the compossessorates and the rural communities

Abstract

One of the most important legislative measures that influenced the economic and social life of Romania at the beginning of the XXth century was the Forestry Code of 1910. The application of its provisions to the management of the forests owned by communities of freeholders and subsequently to that of the compossessorates illustrated the invalid character of some provisions stipulated in this Act as related to the Romanian realities of those times. Understanding the concept of joint property as sui-generis indivisibility, revealed that the legislator had failed a correct the usage according to the law, of the elements of the customary law.
