This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The judgment which holds that the addendum to a contract for the construction of an individual house had limited certain services of the builder but had not removed his capacity as project manager, responsible for the design of the city, and which states that the latter had to give all useful advice to the client, there being no evidence that the client was notoriously competent, may infer the total liability of this builder due to the construction defects.
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly observe the statutory time limits for bringing an action
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
- Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
