Property dispute: understanding your rights and remedies

This decision sheds important light on your property law rights. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

A court of appeal cannot require a unanimous vote of the co-owners to remove the caretaker's position pursuant to the provisions of Article 26, paragraph 2, of the Law of 10 July 1965, after finding that the co-ownership regulations do not impose the existence of a caretaker but merely make it possible, leaving it to the discretion of the owners' association.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Points to note

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for bringing a claim.
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence).
