The expropriation order which does not

This decision provides important clarification on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

An expropriation order which does not mention the opinion that the sub-prefect was required to issue at the conclusion of the plot-by-plot inquiry must be quashed, since examination of the documents in the file and the submissions does not establish that this opinion was given.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key takeaways

• Scrupulously respect the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
