Free Transfer and Direct Sale — What the Law Regulates
Free transfer into ownership and direct sale of state property belong to those forms of disposal of state property which differ from the auction: what is decisive here is not bidding but a decision of a state body and the special grounds provided for by law. The norms operative in this field regulate issues grouped into three clusters: special cases of determining the initial privatization amount, free transfer of property into ownership, and direct sale on the basis of competitive selection.
Each of these forms shares a common feature: the decision-making body is the Government of Georgia, while the concrete procedural details — the procedure for determining amounts, the conditions of initiation and remuneration — are often established by Government decrees or ministerial orders. Therefore, when planning a specific transaction, it is necessary to study the respective legal acts together with the law itself.
