Article 1427 of the French Civil Code

If one of the spouses has exceeded his or her powers over the community property, the other, unless he or she has ratified the act, may apply for its annulment.

The action for annulment is open to the spouse for two years from the day on which he or she became aware of the act, but may never be brought more than two years after the dissolution of the community.

Article 1427

Si l’un des époux a outrepassé ses pouvoirs sur les biens communs, l’autre, à moins qu’il n’ait ratifié l’acte, peut en demander l’annulation.

L’action en nullité est ouverte au conjoint pendant deux années à partir du jour où il a eu connaissance de l’acte, sans pouvoir jamais être intentée plus de deux ans après la dissolution de la communauté.
