There is a direct causal link

This decision provides important insight into your property rights. Here is what it means for you.

The situation

There is a direct causal link between the grant of a loan for the purchase of a property by a bank and the failure to pay the service charges by the property owners, the obligation to pay these charges being directly linked to the acquisition of the property and, at the time the loan was granted, the debtors' financial situation already being heavily indebted and known to the bank, which was thereby at fault in relation to the damage suffered by the owners' association of the building.
