Opposition in civil matters: form and grounds
You have just received a judgement handed down in your absence. This is known as a default judgment. The law offers you a second chance: the opposition. This allows you to have the case heard by both parties again. However, this remedy is subject to strict rules of form and procedure...The end of property leasing: terms and legal implications
In the jungle of commercial contracts, property leasing occupies a unique place. Neither a traditional lease nor a traditional sale, this complex transaction merits a closer look at its possible outcomes. After all, all leasing comes to an end - sometimes planned, sometimes precipitated. And it is often at this point that complications arise...International brokerage: legal points to watch out for
In an increasingly open economic world, borders are becoming increasingly blurred. A French company can use a local broker to conquer the German market; a foreign investor can use an intermediary in France to find property opportunities; a private individual can use an intermediary in...Judicial time: not falling into the trap of procedural deadlines

French civil procedure has undergone profound change in recent years. Law no. 2019-222 of 23 March 2019 on programming 2018-2022 and reform for the justice system initiated a major upheaval. Decree no. 2019-1333 of 11 December 2019 then gave concrete form to this overhaul. These texts modify the structure...Enhanced ownership-security: trusts, assignment of receivables and new guarantees
The reform of security law strengthens property-based mechanisms. Ordinance 2021-1192 of 15 September 2021 extends their scope. These guarantees offer a decisive advantage: an exclusive right for the creditor, which is particularly effective in the event of insolvency proceedings. The security trust: greater flexibility and greater effectiveness The...Unreasonable delays in the courts: obtaining redress
In France, where the average time taken to obtain a judgment in a civil case exceeds 12 months, and where some cases drag on for years, the question of the responsibility of the State and magistrates for these dysfunctions becomes crucial. These delays are not inevitable. The law recognises that...Understanding the principle of res judicata: why can't a case be retried indefinitely?
Imagine: you've finally got a court decision after months, even years, of proceedings. A relief, no doubt. But one question remains: is this decision really the end of the story? Could your opponent relaunch the case from a different angle? Or, on the contrary...
