Action for removal of clauses

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

The situation

The action for removal of illicit or abusive clauses provided for by Article L. 421-6 of the Consumer Code is limited to contracts offered or intended solely for consumers. Consequently, a court of appeal that declares admissible an action for removal of clauses appearing in a contract offered or intended for non-professionals violates this provision.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points

• Strictly observe the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (deeds, instruments, letters)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
