PREFACE
The volume contains, for the most part, the papers presented at the International Conference on Transfer of Immoveable Property held at the Department of Legal Sciences of the University of Trento at the end of March 2009. It could be considered as a by-product of the research activities conducted by the group on Transfer of Immoveable Property in European Law, which investigate on this specific topic within the international research on the "Common Core of European Private Law" run by Professors Ugo Mattei and Mauro Bussani.
The conference has been for the group an intermediate step of the research launched in the summer of 2006 at the Department of Legal Science, University of Trento, by Professors Elizabeth Cooke (University of Reading) and Luz Martinez (University of Valencia), who I reached in the editorial board the year after.
This step has been a breathing space in the on-going research with a little different spirit from the one which characterize the research related to the Common Core. Instead of comparing the operational rules, we wanted every national reporter to lay out the legal principles on which different systems base the Transfer of Immoveable Property. This has not wanted to be an act of intolerance toward the methodology of research on the Common Core, but a moment to deepen the same, as through the factual approach (the methodology on which the Common Core Project is based) some information concerning the administrative organization of the different models of immoveable registration systems’ (the presence of a notary, the organization of the Land register, what it register, how it is administrated) is difficult to make them emerge.
However we assume that these information are very important for the completion of the work of the main project because it seems that despite the different legal systems have developed very different principles (eg. consensualistic one vs. the registration principle) at a practical level we may observe that there is abroad convergence in entrusting the registration moment with a crucial role in the transfer process. But this constitutes the future development of the work on Transfer of Immovable group’s within the Common Core of European Private Law project. For
the moment it has been decided to collect the conference materials in this book who wants to be an easy introduction to the principles governing Transfer of Immoveable Property in some European Countries.
Other than the Department of Legal Science of University of Trento, in the persons of its Director Prof. Gianni Santucci and its staff members, a special thanks goes undoubtedly to the Collegio Nazionale del Notariato (Italian Notary Council), the Colegio Nacional de Registradores de la Propiedad (Spain) and the Associazione RB Schlesinger per lo Studio del Diritto Europeo, that has contributed financially to the realization of the Conference and consequently to the accomplishment of this volume.
Last but not least, a sincere thank goes to all the contributors of the volume that after working hard by diligently writing their paper, have patiently waited for the delays in its publication, that are attributable only to my person.
