Abstract
Starting from the disciplinary concerns about the obsolescence and loss of normative autonomy of Civil Law, this article aims to establish, from a concrete case about the indirect expropriation of an occupied urban land, the concept of "ascending dogmatics" as an alternative to theoretical procedures that seek only in the constitutionalization or publicization of Private Law the mechanisms of its updating. It then demonstrates the power that would be implied in a recovery, for Civil Law, of one of its most traditional tasks: the encoding and recoding of everyday relationships.
