Reference decision: cc • No. 86-13.964 • 1988-02-23 • View the decision →
This decision sheds important light on your property law rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
Given a building presenting a serious and imminent danger, and the mayor having ordered, not its total demolition, but only that of one of its dangerous elements, it is rightly that a court of appeal considers that this mayor acted within the framework of the provisions of Article L. 511-3 of the French Construction and Housing Code, and not those of Articles L. 511-1 and L. 511-2, and that he had not committed an unlawful act.
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
