The situation
Our client bought the flat under a notarised contract. A third party then relied on an earlier court decision to challenge the legal effect of the sale.
A family with two young children risked losing their home.
What we did
The defence focused on the circumstances in which the buyer acquired the flat and whether he could have known of third-party rights and claims.
We established that the sale was for value and notarised, and presented the registry records, the chain of title and the buyer’s good faith. The main legal ground was Article 229 of the Civil Code of Uzbekistan (recovery of property from a good-faith purchaser).
The result
On 7 October 2026 the Civil Division of the Tashkent City Court recognised our client as a good-faith purchaser.
For the family it was a decisive step in protecting their right to their home.
