This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
It is by a necessary interpretation of the imprecise terms of the clause in the specifications of a housing development providing only for "country and pleasure houses" that may be occupied only by "owners, artists, office workers... or other quiet people" that the appellate judges, by seeking the intention of the developers, sovereignly held that there could be no room in the said development for any industrial or commercial activity without disturbing the peace of the neighbourhood.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Scrupulously respect the statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (titles, deeds, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
