Reference decision: Cour de cassation • No. 08-20.951 • 10 November 2009 • View the decision →
This decision provides important clarification on your family and property rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
A court of appeal cannot rely exclusively on a boundary survey report, which does not constitute a deed transferring ownership, in order to award ownership of a portion of land and order the demolition of the wall built on it
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly observe the statutory time limits for appeal
- Keep all of your supporting documents (title deeds, legal instruments, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice is always less costly than a dispute
