Reference decision: cc • No. 24-14.709 • 2026-10-01
This decision provides important insight into your family and property rights. Here is what it changes for you.
The situation
The demolition action provided for under Article L. 480-13 of the French Planning Code is intended to remedy the claimant's personal loss by putting an end to the unlawful situation that causes it. It follows that a court which finds that such a loss exists on the date on which it rules, whatever its degree of severity, is required to order, unless this is impossible, the demolition of the structure to the extent sufficient to bring it into compliance with the breached planning regulation
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 an appeal
- Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, instruments, correspondence)
- Plan ahead: preventive advice always costs less than a dispute
