The amendment of Article R

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

The situation

The amendment of Article R. 12-4 of the Code of Expropriation for Public Utility by Decree No. 2005-467 of 13 May 2005 does not have the effect of prohibiting the correction of omissions or inaccuracies in the particulars intended to establish the regularity of the expropriation order by examination of the documents in the file, since that possibility is reserved to the judge by Article 459 of the Code of Civil Procedure, now applicable to expropriation proceedings.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, correspondence)
