In the absence of a provision

Application pratique:

The court’s decision confirms that the administrator’s remuneration is set by the First President of the Court of Appeal and is not subject to prior verification by the court clerk. To challenge the amount, you must act within the statutory appeal period (usually 15 days from notification) and present your objections directly to the court, rather than expecting the clerk to reduce the fees. Keep all fee notifications and correspondence, and consider seeking legal advice promptly to avoid missing deadlines.

Application pratique:

Because the administrator’s fees are not verified by the court clerk, the amount set by the First President is immediately enforceable. You should immediately check whether you were properly notified of the hearing where the fees were fixed—failure to notify you may be a ground to appeal. Gather all co-ownership meeting minutes and correspondence, and file an appeal within the legal time limit (usually one month from the fee order) to argue the fees are disproportionate.

Application pratique:

This decision shows that administrator fees are not subject to clerk verification and can become a binding debt on all co-owners, including future ones, if not challenged in time. Request from the seller the administrator’s fee order and proof of payment, and ask the syndicate for an up-to-date statement of charges. Insist on a clause in the sale contract stating that any outstanding fees are the seller's responsibility, to avoid inheriting the debt.
