No criticism can be made of the judge

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

The situation

No criticism can be made of the interim relief judge for having found that he had jurisdiction to authorise the owner of adjoining land to enter the neighbouring land in order to have the wall of a building rendered, the demolition of which for encroachment was being sought before the trial court, since he found that the rendering work was urgent and that its execution required temporary entry onto the neighbouring land, and he had regard to the existence of a dispute between the parties.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appealing
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
