This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
Does not provide a legal basis for its decision the Court of Appeal which, in order to dismiss the action by which the employers of an individual dwelling seek compensation for the loss resulting from the fact that the construction contract which an economic interest grouping made them subscribe and which was executed, contained clauses contrary to the Act of 16 July 1971, holds that they contracted with full knowledge of the facts and that it was up to them not to accept the clauses which were not in line with the legislation in force, without investigating whether the breach committed by this economic interest grouping of public policy provisions intended to protect purchasers had not actually caused loss to these employers.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Strictly comply with statutory time limits for lodging appeals
