Chilean Supreme Court property and land rulings

Overview

The Chilean Supreme Court has issued several rulings regarding property rights and land occupation. In one instance, the Court rejected a cassation appeal, confirming a lower-court decision that ordered the removal of an occupant who lacked legal title to a property. The Court determined the occupation was merely tolerated by the owners, as the defendant could not prove authorization from a co-owner.

In a separate matter, the Supreme Court upheld a ruling from the Concepción Court of Appeals that rejected a protection action filed by the Mapuche Lanalwe Dayinko Organization. The organization had challenged the eviction and destruction of a traditional ruka on the shores of Lake Lanalhue, which occurred in October 2025. While the organization argued the destruction violated cultural and spiritual rights and international instruments like ILO Convention 169, the court maintained the administrative restitution of the public land.
