This newsletter, a special summer edition, is dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Pinel Law and its impact on commercial leases in terms of rent review, lease term or renewal.
The commercial leases statute contains a number of public policy rules, initially established by the legislator and supplemented by the case law of the Cour de cassation, from which the parties cannot derogate. But then, what is the statute of limitations for actions against stipulations that are contrary to the public policy rules of the commercial leases statute? The Third Civil Chamber of the Court of Cassation has provided an answer in three rulings handed down this month.
The "Practitioner's Corner" provides an opportunity to take stock of the new procedures designed to reduce court congestion, namely the amicable settlement hearing and the termination of the contract.
You will also find the latest case law and legislative news on commercial leases, as well as the team's diary.
Enjoy your reading!
