Reference decision: Court of Cassation • No. 10-24.214 • 2011-10-26 • View the decision →
This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it means for you.
The situation
It is incumbent on the judge to decide personally the dispute before him. A Court of Appeal which, after correctly ruling that the contribution of spouses married under the separate property regime to a tax debt is determined in proportion to the tax for which they would have been liable had they been taxed separately, orders that the amount of the husband's claim be calculated on that basis by the notary in charge of the winding-up of the spouses' matrimonial property interests, on the basis of the information to be provided by the parties, fails in its duty and violates Article 4 of the Civil Code.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly comply with the legal time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (titles, deeds, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
