Violates the provisions of Article L

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

The situation

The Court of Appeal violates the provisions of Article L. 631-7 of the Building and Housing Code when it annuls the resolution of an extraordinary general meeting of a property allocation company, which modifies the rules provided for by Article L. 212-2 of the Building and Housing Code, stipulating that the building is for residential use except for the ground-floor shops, and when it decides that the entire building may be used for commercial purposes and the apartments for office use, regardless of any actual and physical conversion of the premises, whereas that decision did not exclude the application of legislation requiring prior administrative authorisation to change the use of residential premises.

What the law says

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Key points to remember

• Strictly comply with the legal time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
• Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than litigation
