This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
According to Article R. 142-3 of the Rural and Maritime Fishing Code, before any allocation decision, the land development and rural establishment companies (SAFER) proceed with the publication of a call for applications by displaying at the town hall of the municipality where the property is located, for a minimum period of fifteen days, a notice containing, in particular, a brief description of the property, its total surface area, the name of the municipality, the locality or the cadastral reference, and the mention of its classification in a town planning document, if any. This notice indicates the period, which may not exceed fifteen days after the end of the display, during which applications must be submitted, and specifies that further information may be obtained from the company's head office. Only applications submitted after the publication of a call and responding to the public offer, as presented by the SAFER, may be considered for the allocation of the property under the proposed conditions
