The situation

The action for compulsory regularisation of an undertaking to transfer plots to a free syndicate of owners (association syndicale libre), which seeks recognition of the right of ownership transferred to it by effect of a stipulation for the benefit of a third party, is an imprescriptible action in revendication (claim for recovery of property). By the stipulation for the benefit of a third party granted for its benefit, the free syndicate of owners, once formed, was immediately vested with ownership of the plots subject to the stipulation, even before regularisation of the transfer by authentic deed.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
