Article 1844-16 of the French Civil Code

Neither the company nor the partners may rely on a nullity against third parties acting in good faith. However, nullity resulting from incapacity or one of the defects of consent may be relied on even against third parties by the incapable person and his legal representatives, or by the partner whose consent was taken by mistake, fraud or violence.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1844-16

Ni la société ni les associés ne peuvent se prévaloir d’une nullité à l’égard des tiers de bonne foi. Cependant la nullité résultant de l’incapacité ou de l’un des vices du consentement est opposable même aux tiers par l’incapable et ses représentants légaux, ou par l’associé dont le consentement a été surpris par erreur, dol ou violence.
