Constitutional References and Architects’ Disciplinary Proceedings: Recent Guidance from the Constitutional Court

Constitutional references often provide some of the clearest guidance on the interpretation of constitutional and Convention law. The recent judgments delivered by the First Hall of the Civil Court in its Constitutional Jurisdiction (the “First Court”) and, on appeal, by the Constitutional Court on the 13th July 2026, in the parallel proceedings instituted by architects Anthony Mangion and Roderick Camilleri against the Chamber of Architects, provide a notable example. The judgments addressed a number of important questions concerning the nature and fairness of architects’ disciplinary proceedings and ultimately upheld the Chamber’s position that the disciplinary decisions should not be annulled.

Forced Sale of Co-Owned Property in Malta: Fair Price and Co-Owner Protection in a Recent Judgment

The case of Rita Sultana pro et nomine et vs Carmelo Caruana et , decided by the First Hall Civil Court constitutes a notable judgment concerning the limitations of an action for the sale of a property held in co-ownership under Article 495A of the Civil Code (Chapter 16 of the Laws of Malta). The judgment was not appealed and is therefore res judicata, meaning that it is final and binding between the parties. This legal mechanism is contemplated where co-owners are unable to reach an agreement on the sale of a property held in common. Its purpose seeks precisely to address situations where the majority of co-owners wish to sell the co-owned property, but the minority co-owners are otherwise not in agreement. A successful action under this provision enables the Court to order the sale to a prospective buyer despite objections from minority co-owners.
