The situation
If the defence based on the fact that a municipality was not authorised to litigate by a resolution of the municipal council is a matter of public policy, it is only in the interest of the municipality, which may cure the defect in the writ of summons by a subsequent resolution, under the conditions provided for by Articles 117 and 121 of the new Code of Civil Procedure.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for legal recourse
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
