The right to property is one of the fundamental subjective rights in modern legal systems, playing a key role in ensuring economic stability and social order. In the context of dynamic social, economic, and technological changes, increasing questions are being raised regarding the law and the protection of this right, the answers to which require careful analysis and adaptation of existing legal mechanisms. This article examines the protection of the right to property as a fundamental principle of the rule of law. It explores the general characteristics and diverse mechanisms for safeguarding property rights, including civil, administrative, and criminal legal protections. The study aims to identify and classify the primary methods of protection, analysing the normative framework, judicial practice, and legal scholarship, with particular emphasis on the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Bulgaria. The study demonstrates that property protection constitutes a dynamic legal domain, continuously adapting to socio-economic transformations that inherently impact the substantive right to ownership. In the contemporary context, the need for further legislative measures and refinement of protective mechanisms remains critically relevant. The author concludes that property protection is a dynamic legal figure whose effectiveness depends on the ability of the legislator and law enforcement bodies to integrate traditional principles into new realities, ensuring both the stability of legal relationships and compliance with international human rights standards.
