Reference decision: Court of Cassation • No. 14-81.429 • 2014-05-20 • View decision →
This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The failure to summon the lawyer of the person under judicial investigation to the adversarial hearing prior to the decision on the extension of pre-trial detention may be justified by an unforeseeable and insurmountable cause external to the justice system. A change of the lawyer's contact details does not constitute such a cause where he made them known, prior to the adversarial hearing, by a specific communication to the clerk of the examining magistrate.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points
- Scrupulously comply with statutory time limits for appeals or applications
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
