Contractual Preemption Right vs. Subsequent Purchaser Lacking Registration
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA dispute arose regarding the validity of a contractual stipulation which allegedly created a perpetual right of preemption over a piece of property. The buyer of the property, who was aware of the stipulation at the time of purchase, subsequently sought to enforce the right against the current owner, arguing the stipulation was binding on successors in title. The court rejected the claim, reasoning that a contractual commitment to grant a right of preemption, absent registration as a real right, constitutes a purely personal obligation between the contracting parties and therefore cannot be enforced against a subsequent owner of the property, regardless of their knowledge of the original agreement.
