In light of a concluded contract

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

The situation

Given a contract concluded prior to Decree No. 67-1166 of 22 December 1967, a Court of Appeal is not required to refer to the provisions of that Decree, which are inapplicable to the case, in order to assess whether the defects it finds affect the major or minor works.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly adhere to the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (titles, deeds, correspondence)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
