This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here's what it changes for you.
The situation
The mandate, even if stipulated irrevocable, to find a buyer with a view to the sale of a property, does not deprive the principal of the right to withdraw from the transaction. The revocation then produces all its effects, subject to the principal's liability towards the agent.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Strictly comply with the legal deadlines for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, contracts, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
