Manifest intoxication is a fact

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

The situation

Manifest intoxication is a material fact that can be established by means of sensory evidence without it being necessary for the report attesting to it to set out specific signs in support. The defendant cannot criticise the superfluous statements by which the judgment, which refers to the police report, further states that at the time of his arrest he was gesticulating and shouting (1).

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Points to remember

• Strictly comply with the legal deadlines for appeal
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, correspondence)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
