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

The situation

The expropriation order is vitiated by a formal defect which should lead to its annulment where it refers to notification by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt of the deposit of the public inquiry file at the town hall sent to the husband, whereas only the wife appears on the parcel register as the owner, and she received no notification.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points
