About this statute

This provision says the following articles make up Chapter III of Title II of the Civil Code book on goods and changes in ownership. Sous réserve des cas prévus ensuite, la mitoyenneté est régie par les mêmes dispositions que la copropriété forcée. Les copropriétaires d’une clôture ou d’un mur mitoyen partagent les fruits et charges, avec des droits particuliers pour se dégager de certaines dépenses, construire contre le mur, et demander/limiter des travaux sous conditions. A neighbor who changes a shared fence must pay damages caused by the work beyond normal neighborhood inconvenience. If there is no agreement, any neighbor may have an expert तयermine the necessary measures and compensation. Any co-owner may raise the shared wall. If the wall cannot support the added height, the person who wants to raise it must rebuild it entirely at their own expense.
