Reference decision: cc • No. 73-10.126 • 1974-02-26 • Consult the decision →
This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The Court of Appeal, seised by an individual of the question whether a plot belonged to the State as an ownerless property, legally justifies its decision rejecting that claim by holding, on a sovereign assessment of the evidence, that the plot was previously registered in the cadastral matrix in the name of the defendant's predecessor in title, and that nothing proved the ownerless character of the said plot, which the State Property Administration had never had in its charge.
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, instruments, correspondence)
- Be proactive: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
