When the Indictments Chamber

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

The situation

When the Indictments Chamber finds an act of procedure null and void, only documents that necessarily depend on the invalidated act must be annulled as a consequence. The Indictments Chamber justifies its decision in this way where, after annulling reports of the investigation conducted under a letter of request, on the ground of the irregularity of the police custody, it refuses to extend the annulment to the warrant to appear issued by the investigating judge, to the supplementary submissions of the public prosecutor, to the record of first appearance and to the order for remand in custody, stating that, in light of the earlier elements of the judicial investigation, the police custody was not the necessary prerequisite for those acts.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
