Reference decision: Court of Cassation, No. 98-15.495, 9 February 2000 • View the decision →
This decision sheds important light on your property rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The general meeting of co-owners did not oppose the request for installation of a satellite television reception antenna made by a tenant of a flat in a co-ownership building, merely making the project subject to certain conditions intended to safeguard the integrity of the building. A Court of Appeal correctly deduces that the co-owners' association was not required to refer the matter to the County Court within the time limit laid down by Article 2 of the Decree of 22 December 1967.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Strictly observe the statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice is always cheaper than litigation
