Reference decision: cc • No. 12-21.484 • 2014-04-30 • View the decision →
This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
If the application for nullity of an expert report does not constitute a procedural objection but a defence on the merits, it remains subject, pursuant to Article 175 of the Code of Civil Procedure, to the provisions governing the nullity of procedural acts. Accordingly, a court of appeal which finds that a party has presented defences on the merits before raising the nullity of the expert report rightly decides that the nullity has been waived.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
