a. True b. False

b. False

Explanation:

The concept of "direct expropriation" has never been problematic. It is an old public law institution that finds support in most national legal systems. This form implies a mandatory transfer of the title deed or the immediate occupation or confiscation of a property right. Normally, the State or a third party designated by it directly benefits from the measure. The term brings with it the connotation of a seizure by a governmental authority of the property of a person with the aim of transferring the property to another person, normally the authority that exercises its de jure or de facto power to order the seizure.
