The Greek Civil Code, which was introduced in 1946, was a major breakthrough in the Greek legal system, particularly its third book, which deals with Greek property law. Its rapporteur, Professor Georgios Balis of the Athens School of Law, considered that this new legal framework, on the one hand, was a continuation of the long-standing Byzantine-Roman law (in force since the 14th century) and, on the other hand, by limiting the rights to four - ownership, easement, pledge and lease - could effectively contribute to land management and stop the fragmentation of land and property rights. Greek property law itself is based on 3D descriptions of rights and their restrictions, which in many cases have not yet been rendered at a technical and/or spatial level, especially at the legal level. As a result, the 3D legal description of property rights and restrictions is not followed by the equivalent 3D technical and spatial description. Herein, is presented the 3D legal descriptions of property rights at the spatial level and within the basic framework of 3D LAS. The 3D interrelationships of Greek property law with other aspects of the Greek legal system related to real estate (rights, use, development, restrictions, rules) are analysed in detail. Special emphasis is given to the analysis of the interactions of Greek property law with urban planning legislation and the procedures for the recognition and identification of arbitrary constructions and the issuance of building permits, which have recently been revised at the 3D level. This approach can be the starting point for the design and implementation of 3D LAS in Greece, based on the public data base of the Hellenic Cadastre, as provided for in its founding law.
