The appeal of a guarantor who did not file submissions

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

The situation

The appeal of a guarantor who did not file submissions at first instance against the principal plaintiff, the victim, is inadmissible for lack of interest insofar as it is directed against her, the judgment, in the absence of any appeal by the guaranteed party, having become final in the relations between the said victim and the guaranteed party.

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 supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
