Abstract
The extensive text of the article is divided into five parts. The first part is an introduction. The second part is a historical review of the legal status of the maritime domain in the territory of the Republic of Croatia. The author describes various legal acts ranging from Austrian law to the Sea Ports Act of 1995. The third part deals with the period after the coming into force of the Maritime Domain and Seaports Act of 2003. In the fourth part, the author analyses the
legislation solutions pro futuro. In the fifth part, the author spells out his concluding remarks. In the article, he emphasises the problem of the protection of property rights acquired on the maritime domain and the objects built on the same domain. Despite the fact that the maritime domain has always had the status of a general demesne, an exception to the impossibility to acquire property rights on maritime domain real estate has been provided in all laws regulating
the legal status of his special type of real estate. The author points out that the Maritime Domain and Seaports Act of 2003 has not solved the mentioned problems (art. 118), but has left the issue open. Meanwhile, the draft of the new act anticipates clear and better solutions.
