Article 1149 of the French Civil Code

Routine acts performed by a minor may be annulled on the grounds of simple injury. However, nullity is not incurred where the lesion results from an unforeseeable event.

A simple declaration of majority made by the minor is not an obstacle to annulment.

The minor may not evade the commitments he has made in the exercise of his profession.

Original in French 🇫🇷

La simple déclaration de majorité faite par le mineur ne fait pas obstacle à l’annulation.

Le mineur ne peut se soustraire aux engagements qu’il a pris dans l’exercice de sa profession.
