In this work, the main deficiencies in the current Cuban legal scenario are addressed, in relation to the regulation of the expropriation institute, mainly given by the coexistence of several regimes applicable depending on the type of owner or property etc., which generate, among other problems, inequality in treatment and specifically in the compensatory aspect. In this order, aspects such as the type of property likely to be expropriated in relation to the form of ownership which covers them will be dealt with, particularities as to the cause of expropiation, the expropriation procedure, the subjects of the expropriational legal relationship, the rights of the affected person facing the expropriation power or the inconsistency of the current regime with the current Constitution will be discussed.
