If the assigned party has expressly consented, the assignment of the contract releases the assignor for the future.

Failing this, and unless otherwise agreed, the assignor is jointly and severally liable to perform the contract.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1216-1

Si le cédé y a expressément consenti, la cession de contrat libère le cédant pour l’avenir.

A défaut, et sauf clause contraire, le cédant est tenu solidairement à l’exécution du contrat.
