The introduction of Greece's Civil Code, in 1946, signaled the transition from the then applicable Roman-Byzantine Law, known as Armenopoulos Exabiblos, to a modernized legal framework. The Greek Property Law, Civil Code Book 3, it is consisting of a bundle of rules, regulations and restrictions on properties, property rights and properties use and exploitation. Even though Property Law was introduced in 1946, it includes a provision, rules and restrictions that were and still are innovative. Besides the definition of rights in rem, like full or limited ownership or usufruct, Property Law introduces legal definitions with technical aspects for rules, regulations and restrictions on property installations that produce emissions, like air, heat, noise or vibrations, creating nuisance or even environmental adverse effects, with negative impact to neighboring properties use and exploitation, so as neighboring properties and their owners are legally protected against any harmful effect.
