Constitutes a real and serious cause

This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The behaviour of a sales representative constitutes a real and serious cause for dismissal where his relations with his regional director had deteriorated to the point that he refused to meet his manager, corresponded with him only by registered letters or notes, and had sent to the general management a letter in which he made serious accusations against that regional director, claiming in particular that he was building a house for his own account by abusively using the staff and suppliers of the company that employed him.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Scrupulously comply with the statutory time limits for legal remedies.
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, letters).
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation.
