This decision provides important clarification on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
Since the party wall presupposes the existence of two contiguous buildings, when one of them disappears, the effects attached by law to the party wall cease, leaving only those resulting from co-ownership.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly respect the statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (titles, deeds, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
