Question juridique clé
Whether the promise to assign an undivided inheritance share could be assimilated to an alienation subject to communal pre-emption under the housing law.
Solution extraite
No. The conditions of Article 4 LGL were not met because the agreement was a promise of cession of succession rights, not a sufficiently defined alienation of the land itself.
Motifs extraits
The object was a future cession of rights in the inheritance, not an immediate transfer of ownership in the parcel. The price and other essential terms of the later sale were not yet fixed, and the right of emption could not validly be exercised on that basis.
