The paper provides a brief overview of judicial modalities for the protection of property rights in the legal system of the Republic of Croatia. In the introduction, a historical overview of the understanding of ownership rights and methods of its protection is given, then the methods of protection of property rights that are foreseen within the legal system are described, within the framework of court proceedings, which is the subject of interest of this paper. Judicial protection of ownership rights is ensured by the provisions of the Law on Land Registers, in the framework of non-litigation proceedings during the registration of property rights in the land register, and in the framework of civil proceedings through a deletion claim. Judicial protection of property rights is ensured by the provisions of the Law on Property and Other Real Rights, which provides for three types of lawsuits. In the first place, there is the real owner's claim or revindication, by which the owner requests the return of the thing that was unlawfully taken from him, then the law also prescribes a claim against harassment or a negatory claim by which the owner will stand up against a third person who harasses him in the exercise of his ownership rights, while at the same time possession of the thing was not taken away from owner, and finally there is a lawsuit by the alleged owner or a publician lawsuit, which protects a stronger right to possession, in which the ownership itself is not the subject of determination, and in such a procedure the court will protect the person who proves his stronger right to possession. At the end of the paper, an overview of the court rulings of various courts was given, which put into practice some of the presented legal solutions.
