The Failure to Publish the Mention

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

The situation

The failure to publish the mention relating to the time limit within which the inquiry commissioner must give his opinion at the end of the parcel inquiry does not constitute an essential formality of a nature to lead to the annulment of the expropriation order, since, on the one hand, no text opposes the publication of the order opening the parcel inquiry being made by a simple notice and, on the other hand, the time limit given to the inquiry commissioner is not subject to any sanction.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key takeaways

• Strictly respect the legal time limits for appeals
