Property dispute: understanding your rights and remedies

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

The situation

The trial judges justify their decision refusing to authorise the carrying out of works in a building held under co-ownership, in the absence of the co-owners' agreement, since they find that these works would have the sole effect of enlarging the claimant's private premises.

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 remedies
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
• Be proactive: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
