This decision provides important insight into your property law rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
A judgment is liable to be quashed where it upheld the holder's claim for payment of the amount of a bill of exchange against the defendant without responding to the defendant's submissions that this claim for payment was inadmissible, since it was directed against him personally whereas he had accepted the bill in question only in his capacity as manager of a private limited company (SARL).
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for bringing an appeal
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
