Notaries go on strike for 20 days

Notaries in Athens, Piraeus and some of the islands voted on Tuesday to suspend work for 20 days from the end of May to protest the National Cadastre’s decision to make electronic filing of property documents and contracts mandatory.

The strike will start from May 30, the day e-filing becomes mandatory, until June 20.

At a general meeting, notaries raised questions about the security of the electronic submission and said citizens should be allowed to physically file property deeds if they so choose.

It is expected that notaries from other regions will join the stop.
