Reference decision: cc • N° 68-13.048 • 1970-02-13 • View the decision →
This decision sheds important light on your property law rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The trial judges, not having been seized of a plea alleging a contractual derogation from the retroactive effect of a fulfilled condition, rightly applied Article 1179 of the Civil Code to declare that the sale, all elements of which were met, was perfected on the day the obligation was contracted.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Scrupulously respect the legal time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventative advice always costs less than litigation
