Property dispute: understanding your rights and remedies

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

The situation

A judgment is liable to be quashed which orders the seller of a machine to pay damages, on account of the delay in performing his obligation to repair this machine, without answering the submissions by which he argued that the buyer had, without justification, failed to perform the obligation he had contracted, to make partial payments of the purchase price on the agreed dates.

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