The circumstance that the sums remaining

Application pratique:

Under this case law, even though the court reduced the debt, interest under Article 1153 (now Article 1231-6 of the Civil Code) runs from the date of formal notice. You should immediately request the court to amend the judgment to include interest at the statutory rate on the €15,000 from 1 March 2023. Keep all evidence of formal notice and present the Court of Cassation reference No. 81-14.671 to support your claim.

Application pratique:

The decision confirms that interest accrues from formal notice, even if the principal sum is later reduced. Include a claim for interest on the €12,000 from 15 June 2023 in your submissions to the court. The legal rate applies, so calculate it up to the judgment date and request that the court explicitly mention it in the final order.

Application pratique:

Relying on this case law, you can demand interest on the reduced amount from the formal notice date. The syndic should immediately apply to the court for a supplementary ruling or raise the point on appeal, citing Cass. civ., 16 Feb. 1983, No. 81-14.671. Ensure all future formal notices are sent by registered post to prove the exact date, as interest is a valuable remedy for late payment.
