Article 1304-5 of the French Civil Code

Before the suspensive condition is fulfilled, the debtor must refrain from any act that would prevent the proper performance of the obligation; the creditor may perform any conservatory act and attack the debtor’s acts performed in fraud of his rights.

What has been paid may be repeated as long as the suspensive condition has not been fulfilled.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1304-5

Avant que la condition suspensive ne soit accomplie, le débiteur doit s’abstenir de tout acte qui empêcherait la bonne exécution de l’obligation ; le créancier peut accomplir tout acte conservatoire et attaquer les actes du débiteur accomplis en fraude de ses droits.

Ce qui a été payé peut être répété tant que la condition suspensive ne s’est pas accomplie.
