Reference decision: Cass. • No. 84-14.308 • 1987-06-09 • View the decision →
This decision sheds important light on your property rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The decision declaring inadmissible, as it stands, the indemnity claim brought by a construction company against businesses that worked with it and are subject to insolvency proceedings is justified; that company, itself facing numerous claims for damages, had sought a ruling that the businesses should indemnify it against all orders, both for the principal sum and for costs; indeed, its written submissions show that the claims introduced by that company actually sought payment of sums of money for a cause arising before the opening of the insolvency proceedings concerning the businesses and that, therefore, they had to be subject to the verification of claims procedure.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Scrupulously respect legal time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, contracts, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
