History: Land Register introduced by Napoleon in 1811

Objections that parcel should be larger were NOT admissible (taxpayer has no

interest in paying more taxes).

Fake argument for smaller parcel could be used by neighbor in civil law suit for

declaration of ownership.

Few objections.

Merging Cadastre and Land Registers

Purpose: economies by preventing duplications and promoting smooth procedures.

Instead of name-list referring to Land Register and name-list referring to Cadastre:

one common name list referring to both.

Sorting out deeds in Land Register became easier (Cadastre had to contain reference numbers of deeds).

Sorting out number of Cadastral parcel became easier (had to mentioned in deed in Land Register).

No description of servitudes in Cadastre (were already described in deed in Land Register).

Hybrid juridical system maintained.

Civil law governs Land Registers and Cadastre as entrance to Land Register.
