Reference decision: Cass. • No. 81-16.768 • 26 October 1983 • View decision →
This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The judgment which, by a necessary interpretation, excluding any distortion of the ambiguous terms of a co-ownership regulation that grants the owners of shops the right to connect to the building's collective heating, holds that the option becomes irrevocable once exercised upon completion of the building, rightly decides that a co-owner who has chosen to connect his premises to the heating cannot, by giving up use of that common equipment, be exempted from contributing to the charges it generates.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Strictly respect the statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
