What Article 55² is about and who it applies to
Article 55² of the Georgian Administrative Offences Code protects state-owned land from unauthorised appropriation. The norm covers two forms, and the wording joining them — "and/or" — matters: the offence is the unauthorised occupation of a plot of state-owned land, the use of land without a right of land use, or both together. If you have been fined under this article, the authority's position is that you occupied or have been using state land without the permission or the right to do so.
This page helps you understand what the article says exactly, what fines it provides for, and what it does not say. Land cases are emotional, because they often concern a plot that has been worked in fact for years; but for that very reason the facts and the documents must be assessed coolly — that is the only way to strengthen your position in the face of a fine.
