What is the impact (if any) on real estate of local common law in Malta?
The Maltese legal system is mostly based on civil law in particular in the field of property and thus it is hard to assess the direct common law impact on real estate in Malta. All laws in Malta are in the written form and one is to note that the ‘rule of precedent’ does not apply to the local judiciary system distancing it further from Common Law in this regard.
