This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The fact of declaring unwritten, in accordance with the provisions of Article L. 231-3 of the Construction and Housing Code, a clause whose purpose is to relieve the builder of its obligation to carry out the works within the stipulated time limits, does not prevent the Court of Appeal from noting that part of the delay in delivery of the work must be attributed to the project owner.

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Points to note
- Respect scrupulously the legal deadlines for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
