This decision sheds important light on your property rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
Since these elements have been submitted to the free discussion of the parties, an appellate court may, without violating the principle of adversarial proceedings, rely on a court-ordered expert report drawn up during a case between one of the parties and a third party, and on an expert report drawn up unilaterally at the request of that party, the probative value and significance of which it has sovereignly assessed.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key takeaways
- Strictly comply with statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, contracts, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
