Can a Bad-Faith Seller Under a Preliminary Contract for Sale of Immovable Property Frustrate the Proper Exercise of the Buyer's Right of Action Under Article 19 of the Obligations and Contracts Act?

Subject:
Real estate
Published at:
Property and Law Digest
Edition:
2022, Book 7

Pursuant to Art. 19, Para 3 of the Obligations and Contracts Act, either of the parties to the preliminary contract may bring an action for the conclusion of the final contract. Most often in practice, these claims are initiated by the buyer under the concluded preliminary contract, as it is usually the buyer whose rights and interests are more vulnerable in the overall process of concluding a final contract for the purchase of real estate. This is because it is widely accepted in practice to arrange for the payment of part of the sale price to be made prior to the conclusion of the final contract in the form of a deed. This leads to situations where the buyer has fulfilled their main obligation to pay the sale price (or a large part of it) and they are left with the legitimate expectation (hope) that the seller will appear at the place and time agreed in the preliminary contract to conclude the final contract, but this does not always happen. *This publication is in Bulgarian.

Although the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been applied since 25 May 2018 and the amendments to the Bulgarian Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) have been in force since the beginning of March 2019, there is currently still a serious misunderstanding among many organisations about what obligations they have with regard to the protection of personal data they process in the course of their activities.
