Legislator summary

AI generated

The court dismissed the request for judicial review regarding extraordinary repairs imposed on a property. The plaintiff, a usufructuary, argued that such costs should be shared or borne by them, while the defendant, the owner, contended that extraordinary works fall exclusively on the owner's responsibility. The court ruled that under the General Urban Building Regulations and the Civil Code, extraordinary repairs and improvements are the sole obligation of the property owner, not the usufructuary, and municipal authorities must verify responsibility before ordering such works.
