This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The clause of a contract of sale in a future state of completion concluded between a professional and a non-professional or consumer which provides that in the event of a legitimate ground for suspending the delivery period of the sold property, justified by the seller to the purchaser by a letter from the project manager, delivery of the sold property will be delayed by a period equal to twice that actually recorded due to their impact on the general organisation of the worksite has neither the object nor the effect of creating, to the detriment of the non-professional or consumer, a significant imbalance between the rights and obligations of the parties to the contract and, therefore, is not unfair
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
