Reference decision: cc • N° 94-15.434 • 1997-01-15 • View decision →
This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
A decision is legally justified which, to reject a claim for compensation for damage caused by hares to an apple orchard, holds that a plantation of field-grown fruit trees, however extensive, constitutes an orchard, and that under the law applicable in Alsace-Lorraine, damage to orchards does not give rise to compensation where one has neglected to establish protective installations that are usually sufficient to prevent damage, and that in this case the sleeves used did not constitute protective installations sufficient to usually prevent damage.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Strictly observe the statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice is always cheaper than litigation
