No one may be compelled to transfer

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

The situation

As no one may be compelled to transfer their property except for a public purpose and upon fair and prior compensation, a party cannot be required to incur a loss of usable floor area of their land in order to put an end to the noise nuisance caused by the neighbouring owner.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points
