This decision provides important insight into your real estate law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
After having found that a public limited company was the promoter of a real estate operation consisting in the construction of a building divided into apartments, participated in that operation through its subsidiaries and formed with a third party a real estate investment company (société civile immobilière) for which it acted as intermediary to grant bilateral promises of sale of the apartments, the trial judges distorted the agreements entered into with the subscribers by deciding that they had only contracted with the real estate investment company.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Points to remember
- Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
