-The Cyprus Court of Appeal ruled that the cadastral service does not bear the legal obligation to inform the buyer or its representative about the existence of previously registered contracts of sale when submitting a new one.

The court of first instance rejected the lawsuit, indicating that there was no legislative situation obliging the cadastral service to provide such information. The decision was supported by the court of appeal.
