This decision provides important clarification on your property law rights. Here is what it means for you.
The situation
The general meeting of co-owners not having opposed the request for installation of a satellite television receiving aerial made by a tenant of an apartment in a co-owned building, merely subjecting the implementation of the project to certain conditions intended to guarantee the integrity of the building, a Court of Appeal correctly deduces that the co-owners' association was not required to apply to the county court within the time limit provided for 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 to remember
- Strictly comply with statutory limitation periods for bringing a legal challenge
