The order must be quashed

This decision provides important clarification on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The expropriation order must be quashed where it does not mention either the designation of the investigating commissioner by prefectoral order, or the opening and closing dates of the parcel inquiry, or the transmission of that inquiry to the sub-prefect, and does not contain in annex the opinion of the real estate operations control commission.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
