This decision provides important insight into your family and property rights. Here is what it means for you.
The situation
The publication in the Bulletin officiel des annonces civiles et commerciales (BODACC – official bulletin of civil and commercial notices) of the judgment approving the restructuring plan of the finance lessee (crédit-preneur), which included repayment of the finance lessor's (crédit-bailleur) claim, is not such as to make the latter's right of ownership enforceable against the judicial liquidation of the finance lessee, nor, accordingly, to remedy the absence of renewal of the publicity of the finance lease (crédit-bail) within the five-year limitation period laid down by Article L. 313-11 of the French Monetary and Financial Code (code monétaire et financier).
What the law says
This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.
Key points to remember
- Strictly observe the statutory time limits for bringing a claim
- Keep all your supporting documents (titles, deeds, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice is always less costly than litigation
