Having held that after having given

Application pratique:

Under this ruling, the expert must give the landlord access to preliminary quantified estimates and allow written observations. The landlord should submit contractor quotes or evidence to challenge the initial €15,000 if too low. If the expert fails to share the preliminary estimate, the landlord can object to the final report as invalid for breach of the adversarial principle.

Application pratique:

The case law confirms the buyer's right to see and contest the expert's provisional quantified assessment before the final report. The buyer should formally submit her higher quotes with explanations to the expert. If the final report ignores her evidence without allowing further comment, she can challenge it in court based on this principle.

Application pratique:

This ruling means the co-owner must be given the expert's initial quantified allocation and the chance to submit corrections. The co-owner should carefully review the preliminary figures, identify any miscalculation in the share of common charges, and provide documentary evidence. If not shown the preliminary estimate, the final expert report may be rejected for violating the adversarial principle.
