English translation of the principle

Issuance and publication of the expropriation decision and final assessment of compensation. Its effect. The expropriated property enters the public domain, dedicated to a public-benefit project, and is removed from the sphere of transactions. Ownership of it may not be acquired by any means. The rights of interested persons having rights in rem over the property transfer to the corresponding compensation. Reliance by the person from whom it was expropriated on possession of it. Impermissible. The reason: his possession becomes precarious possession that creates no right over public property, however long the period. - 44 - Obligation
