This decision provides important insight into your real estate law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

In the presence of two sets of proceedings, one for termination of the lease and the other for determination of an eviction indemnity, a court of appeal was able to decide that since the proceedings were linked to each other by a direct and necessary relationship of dependence, the procedural steps taken in the first interrupted the peremption period relating to the second, given that the outcome of the latter proceedings depended directly on the results of the first.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

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