EN DÉCLARATION DE SIMULATION

En déclaration de simulation is a French legal term that means "in order to declare something a pretence." It is an action taken to void a contract, especially one that is brought to remove a cloud from title and bring back, for any legal purpose, to the true owner's estate the thing sold.

An example of en déclaration de simulation would be if someone sold a piece of property to another person, but the sale was not legitimate. The true owner of the property could bring an action to void the contract and regain ownership of the property.

Another example would be if someone sold a car to another person, but the car was not actually theirs to sell. The true owner of the car could bring an action to void the contract and regain ownership of the car.

En déclaration de simulation is a legal action that is taken to void a contract that is not legitimate. The examples illustrate how this action can be used to remove a cloud from title and bring back ownership to the true owner of the property or item sold. It is important to note that this action can only be taken if the contract was not legitimate in the first place.
