No longer confiscation of exhibits, means of administrative violations in land matters in some cases

To be specific, currently, according to Clause 3 Article 27 of Decree 102/2014/ND-CP, for violations of regulations on land use boundary management and administrative boundary markers, in addition to a maximum fine of up to 10,000,000 VND, the violator may also be subject to supplementary penalties and remedial measures:

“3. Supplementary penalty:

Confiscation of the violating items and means of administrative violation for the acts prescribed in Clauses 1 and 2 of this Article.

4. Remedial measures:

Restoration to the original state of the land use boundary and administrative boundary markers for the acts prescribed in Clauses 1 and 2 of this Article.”

However, the newly issued Decree 91/2019/ND-CP no longer mentions the supplementary penalty of “confiscating the violating items and means of administrative violation for the acts of violating regulations on land use boundary management and administrative boundary markers” in the penalty forms for this act.

For violations of regulations on land use boundary management and administrative boundary markers, from January 5, 2020, violators are only fined and must remedy the consequences of their actions as prescribed in Clause 3 Article 34 of Decree 91/2019/ND-CP, specifically as follows:

“3. Remedial measures:

Restoration to the original state of the land use boundary and administrative boundary markers for the acts prescribed in Clauses 1 and 2 of this Article”
