Civil Court of Cassation, 1st Chamber, October 12, 2016, Case No. 15-18659
While it is the notary’s responsibility to keep abreast of the state of the law in force as of the date of his or her action, he cannot be held liable for lacking knowledge of case law that had not yet, as of that date, been published or otherwise made public. Similarly, it is not the notary’s responsibility to anticipate possible developments in case law.
