A party in settlement negotiations

Application pratique:

Under the ruling, the tenant is not obliged to disclose this internal legal analysis. You cannot claim fraudulent misrepresentation by omission. To protect your position, obtain all key documents directly from your own legal counsel, and do not rely on the other party's disclosures. Ensure any settlement agreement is formally drafted and signed, specifying all terms, to avoid future disputes. Keep records of all correspondence.

Application pratique:

The estate agent has no duty to disclose internal risk assessments. This case law means you cannot sue for misrepresentation based on their omission. Therefore, you must commission an independent survey and check local flood zoning maps yourself. Request all written guarantees about the property's condition in the purchase contract. If in doubt, walk away or renegotiate price based on your findings.

Application pratique:

The syndic is not required to share their internal legal analysis. Under this ruling, you cannot accuse them of fraudulent omission. To protect yourself, examine the co-ownership regulations yourself or with a lawyer, demand transparent breakdowns of costs, and call a general meeting to vote on the necessity. Do not pay until proper procedures are followed and minutes are recorded.
