Legal Victory Against Tbilisi City Hall: Land Status in Kojori Changed in Just 28 Days Without Court

For many families in Georgia, owning a land plot designated as a recreational zone in areas like Kojori is a significant legal and financial burden.

What Does a "Recreational Zone" Status Mean for Your Property?

When a land plot is classified under a recreational zone status, construction is strictly prohibited. This restriction prevents owners from developing their land, which leads to a massive decrease in property value.

In Tbilisi, changing a land plot's status from a recreational zone is considered one of the most difficult legal challenges. Typically, the Tbilisi City Hall denies such requests, and approximately 90% of court disputes regarding these matters end in failure for the owners. However, lawyers Mariam Chqonia and Lasha Janibegashvili have proven that with the right strategy, these odds can be defied.

A Record-Breaking Success: The Kojori Land Case

In 2022, a well-known professor living in Vake, Tbilisi, consulted with lawyers Mariam Chqonia and Lasha Janibegashvili. For over 15 years, his land in Kojori had been stuck with a recreational zone status. Despite numerous personal attempts to petition the Tbilisi City Hall, he received constant rejections.

After a thorough consultation, Lasha Janibegashvili took charge of the administrative proceedings. He meticulously studied the case, gathered new evidence, and filed a formal application with the City Hall. While the standard expectation was a long-term court battle with a high probability of rejection, the outcome was unprecedented.

The Strategy of an Authoritative Lawyer

Rather than simply waiting for a standard bureaucratic response, Lasha Janibegashvili employed a proactive, strategic approach. He engaged directly with City Hall’s legal department, presenting the solid legal grounds for the status change.

Janibegashvili made it clear: if the legal merits were ignored, he was prepared to launch a high-profile legal battle. With a combined following of nearly 200,000 subscribers across social media platforms, Janibegashvili has the unique ability to bring significant public interest and transparency to any legal case. He offered a choice: a fair administrative settlement or a high-resonance court case involving additional complaints to the Prosecutor’s Office and investigative bodies.

The Result: From Devalued Land to a Half-Million Property

The administrative process was completed with incredible speed. In just 28 days, the land status was successfully changed.

• The Outcome: A property that was previously devalued and unusable became a prime asset valued at half a million within a month.
