The obligation of result in execution

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

The situation

The obligation of result to execute works free from defects, owed by the subcontractor to the main contractor, is based solely on the contractual and personal relationship existing between them and cannot be invoked by the project owner, who is not a party to the subcontract.

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 legal recourse
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Be proactive: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
