A court of appeal rightly holds

This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

A court of appeal rightly held that a request for loan remission made by a repatriate had not yet been the subject of a final decision, since the administrative court had been seised of an appeal against the prefect’s decision rejecting the request, and accordingly, enforcement proceedings were suspended until such a decision was rendered.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key takeaways

• Strictly comply with legal time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, contracts, correspondence)
• Be proactive: preventive advice is always cheaper than litigation
