The order must be quashed

This decision provides important insight into your property rights. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The expropriation order must be quashed where it fails to mention either the opening date or the closing date of the parcel inquiry, conducted in accordance with the conditions set out in Article 24 of the Decree of 6 June 1959, since it appears from the file that this inquiry, which could not begin, at the earliest, until the day after the expropriated party received the individual notification, did not have the legal duration of fifteen times twenty-four hours.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

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