A creditor cannot challenge an act

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

The situation

A creditor may challenge an act on the ground of fraud on their rights only if they have the status of a creditor; a surety who has neither filed a proof of their debt nor sought relief from the time limit is inadmissible.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Scrupulously comply with the statutory time limits for bringing an action
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
