Real estate dispute: understanding your rights and remedies

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

The situation

A Court of Appeal rightly holds that, by reason of the joint and several liability existing under Article 20 of the Law of 3 January 1967 between the co-owners of a ship for the payment to any one of the co-owners of his claim against that co-ownership without having to join the co-debtors thereof, the aforementioned text does not derogate from the provisions of Article 1203 of the Civil Code.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly observe the statutory time limits for bringing an appeal
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than a dispute
