Abstract

Appropriation is defined as the expropiation of a property from its owner, the right of disposal, ‎usufruct of easement of same. Thus, appropriation can apply to the tittle to the property per ‎se, to the right od disposal of, usufruct or easement of such tittle. Such sovereign privilege, ‎determined for the public administration to dispossess the private property, is based on Article ‎‎( 11 ) of the Jordanian constitution of 1952 , which provides that " the property of any person ‎may not be seized except for public use and against a fair compensation as prescribed by the ‎law " . The Jordanian legislator requires that a number of legal procedures should be salisfied ‎before the passing of the appropriation decision. Taking the appropriation decision will go ‎thought the following stages. The preliminary announcement stage, the submital of the ‎application to the council of Ministers, the passing of the appropriation decision and finally the ‎announcement of the decision of expropriation of the sole proprietorship. The aim of such ‎stages it to exercise patience when issuing the decision and not to be hasty in taking this ‎decision because it constitute a prejudice to the most sacred rights of individuals without ‎exception
