This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it means for you.
The situation
The 2-year time limit provided for by Article 6, paragraph 5, of the Decree of 30 September 1953 is a time-bar which cannot be suspended. The Court of Appeal, in deciding that the tenant is deprived of his right to challenge the notice to quit with refusal to renew the lease without an offer of eviction compensation, and finding, without having to consider the grounds for such notice, that the tenant did not bring the matter before the court before the expiry of the said time limit, makes an exact application of this provision.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for legal action
- Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, letters)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
