Question juridique clé
Whether the request for provisional registration of the builders’ lien was time-barred under Art. 839(2) CC.

Motifs extraits
The two contracts formed a single functional project, the respondents were ordinary co-owners rather than PPE owners, and the July 2007 works could be the completion of the project. The lower court’s contrary assessment was arbitrary.
