The finding of the extinction of the proceedings

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

The situation

The finding of the extinction of the proceedings by an order of the case management judge can no longer be challenged before the court of appeal, since that order was not referred to that court within the fifteen-day period from its date, as prescribed by Article 914 of the Code of Civil Procedure of New Caledonia.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Points to note

• Strictly comply with the legal time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, letters)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
