This decision provides important insight into your property rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The judgment lacks legal basis which, in order to declare time-barred due to the expiry of the two-year guarantee period an action for the repair of defects, merely holds that the acceptance dates back to the date of provisional acceptance without investigating whether the execution of the works satisfied the reservations, set out in the subsequent final acceptance record and referred to in the submissions.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key takeaways
- Strictly comply with legal deadlines for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
