This decision sheds important light on your property law rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
It was by a necessary interpretation of the ambiguous terms of the clauses of the development specifications (cahier des charges) providing that “only houses for residential use were to be built” that the appellate judges held that only any building for commercial, artisanal or industrial use was prohibited, without imposing a type of construction or a restrictive covenant prohibiting the erection of constructions other than detached houses.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly comply with the legal time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
