A member of the board of directors

This decision sheds important light on your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

Since a member of the board of directors of a public limited company acting as a syndic cannot be equated with that separate legal entity and is neither a servant of it nor bound to it by any relationship of subordination, a court of appeal, rightly holding that Article 21 of the Act of 10 July 1965 is to be interpreted strictly, correctly finds that he does not fall within any of the disqualification cases provided for by law.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Points to remember

• Strictly observe the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice is always less expensive than litigation
