What Article 49 is about and when it is applied
Article 49 of the Georgian Administrative Offences Code concerns the unauthorised occupation of land on territories with a special status — the forest territory of Georgia and the boundaries of protected areas. The norm is divided into two parts, and the division is reflected directly in the price: unauthorised occupation of land on forest territory carries a fine of 200 lari, while within the boundaries of a protected area it carries a fine of 400 lari. If you have been fined under this article, the first thing to be clear about is under which part your case was classified: one and the same described act triggers two different amounts depending on where it took place.
This page explains what the article says, how its two parts differ, and which questions remain outside its frame — so that you can form a clear position towards the penalty document and turn to a specialist in good time.
