Reference decision: Court of Cassation • No. 02-10.052 • 2003-05-21 • View the decision →
This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The Court of Appeal fails to provide a legal basis for its decision when it orders the judicial acceptance of the works on the date of its decision, noting that the contractor, in compulsory liquidation, is unable to continue the works, without examining whether the building was fit for habitation on that date.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key takeaways
- Strictly observe legal time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, correspondence)
- Be proactive: preventive advice is always cheaper than litigation
