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 Court of Appeal, by stating that in appealing against a decision whose relevant grounds could not have allowed him to misunderstand the extent of his rights, a litigant acts in bad faith, does not characterise a fault capable of causing the right to appeal to degenerate into an abuse.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly observe the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice is always less expensive than litigation
