À bon droit
La solution à la difficulté pour le promettant-vendeur d’intenter une action en passation de titre serait-elle l’injonction interlocutoire?

Nous avons traité ce matin des grandes difficultés qui attendent un promettent-vendeur qui intente une action en passation de titre et des enseignements de la Cour d’appel dans l’affaire De Chanteloup c. St-Laurent (2021 QCCA 90). La solution à ces difficultés – notamment l’absence de consignation du prix de vente – serait-elle l’obtention d’une injoncton interlocutoire forcant le promettant-acheteur à déposer les fonds en fidéicommis?

Quand la technologie permet de préserver la mémoire d’un immeuble d’intérêt patrimonial

L’affaire Ville de Gatineau c. Gestion NDI Champlain inc. concerne une maison de style « allumette » et oppose le règlement de démolition de la Ville de Gatineau au recours en démolition prévu à l’article 231 de la Loi sur l’aménagement et l’urbanisme.
