If the judge cannot, through the procedure

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

The situation

If the judge cannot, through the procedure for rectification of the recitals, modify the very reasoning of his decision, the substitution of grounds which he nevertheless carries out cannot give rise to quashing when the decision he renders is legally justified, disregarding the inaccurate grounds which have been deleted and replaced.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, correspondence)
• Be proactive: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
