Violates, by misinterpretation

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

The situation

Violates, by misinterpretation, Article 20 of the Law of 13 July 1979, the Court of Appeal, which holds that this text, by providing that the dispute must affect the performance of the contracts, means "that it is related to it and not contemporaneous" and does not require that the dispute arise during the period of performance of the contracts for property development, construction, project management or works.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, correspondence)
