Opposition filed against a Court of Appeal judgment

This decision provides important clarification on your real estate law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The opposition filed against a Court of Appeal judgment rendered in proceedings with mandatory representation, which reopens the case that led to that judgment, does not constitute an appeal, so article 908 of the Code of Civil Procedure does not apply to the opponent, who does not have the status of an appellant

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Scrupulously comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Anticipate: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
