No Fault Can Be Found with a Court

This decision sheds important light on your property rights. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

No fault can be found with a Court of Appeal for dismissing a purchaser of a business's claim for annulment of the sale, given that it noted that he had allowed the deadline under article 13 of the Act of 29 June 1935 to expire and was no longer entitled to raise against the vendor grievances based on the omission or inaccuracy of the statements in the deed of transfer.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Scrupulously comply with the statutory limitation periods for legal action
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, contracts, correspondence)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
