COURSE: M&A - CONCEPTS AND THEORIES

On 4 July 2025, the Cyprus Court of Appeal issued a unanimous and principled judgment that overturned an unjust ruling of the District Court. The case concerned the fundamental right of persons who are affected by court orders issued without notice (ex parte) to be heard in the proceedings, even if they are not joined as parties to the interim application. This judgment marks a landmark precedent in civil procedure, and a moment of professional pride for our firm, Phoebus, Christos Clerides & Associates LLC, which had the privilege to represent the affected individuals.

Purchasing a property is one of life’s most significant financial decisions. Whether you are buying your primary residence, a holiday home, or making an investment, the process requires informed and careful planning to avoid legal complications or financial risk.
