Section 143 Disposition versions

2023-12-29

143. Anyone who may expropriate an immovable under the law may carry out preparatory work on the immovable or in it without having to obtain the decisions or authorizations required to carry out the expropriation, but for the same purposes. The party on whose behalf a person may expropriate the immovable under the law may also carry out the work, to the extent that the latter person has given their authorization.

For the purposes of the first paragraph, the employees of a person who may carry out preparatory work or the persons the latter authorizes may move about on an immovable or enter the immovable at any reasonable time. They must, on request, identify themselves and show a document attesting their capacity.

In addition, persons who may carry out preparatory work are bound to give the owner or any other person in charge of the immovable prior notice of at least 10 days of their intention to move about on the immovable or enter the immovable, indicating in the notice the purposes for which the work is required and the nature of the work.

The owner or any other person in charge of the immovable who receives such a prior notice must notify, at least five days prior to the date on which the person who may carry out preparatory work intends to move about on the immovable or enter the immovable, the lessees and occupants in good faith who rent or occupy the immovable concerned by the work of the content of the notice.
