Application pratique:

This case law confirms that statutory time limits for appeals are strictly enforced. The landlord must file any challenge within one month of receiving the tribunal's written decision, so the 5 April attempt is too late. To avoid this, always record the date you receive court documents and diarise the deadline immediately. Keep the original envelope as proof of the notification date.

Application pratique:

Under French property law, hidden defects must be reported to the seller and legal action started within two years of discovering the problem. This decision stresses the need to keep all supporting documents, including title deeds, survey reports, and correspondence. The buyer should gather any emails, the notaire's file, and the surveyor's findings, then contact a French real estate lawyer immediately to send a formal notice to the seller. Early legal advice may lead to a negotiated settlement before litigation.

Application pratique:

French co-ownership law allows a co-owner to contest an AGM resolution within two months of receiving the minutes, and this decision confirms that time limits are strictly applied. She must immediately instruct a French real estate lawyer to file a legal challenge before the deadline, providing all meeting notices, minutes, and proof of receipt dates. Going forward, she should have a lawyer review the AGM agenda and draft resolutions before each meeting to avoid last-minute disputes.
