This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
Since the person responsible for the construction is exempt from providing the guarantee required by Article R. 231-11 of the Construction and Housing Code, any activity prior to the completion of the foundations may not, pursuant to Article R. 231-15 of the same code, give rise to any advance payment other than that payable on the date of signature of the contract (1).
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Scrupulously respect the statutory time limits for legal remedies
