Article 1585 of the French Civil Code

Where goods are not sold en bloc, but by weight, count or measure, the sale is not perfected, in the sense that the things sold are at the seller’s risk until they are weighed, counted or measured; but the buyer may demand either their delivery or damages, if any, in the event of non-performance of the undertaking.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1585

Lorsque des marchandises ne sont pas vendues en bloc, mais au poids, au compte ou à la mesure, la vente n’est point parfaite, en ce sens que les choses vendues sont aux risques du vendeur jusqu’à ce qu’elles soient pesées, comptées ou mesurées ; mais l’acheteur peut en demander ou la délivrance ou des dommages-intérêts, s’il y a lieu, en cas d’inexécution de l’engagement.
