Transport costs incurred

This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

Transport costs personally incurred by the mother of the detained person, financially independent of her son, to visit him, do not give rise to compensation. However, when a minor child is dependent on his detained father, the transport costs incurred for visits by this child and those of his accompanying person must be compensated in light of the supporting documents provided

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with the legal time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, letters)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
