Article 324 of the French Civil Code

Judgments handed down in matters of filiation may be set up against persons who were not parties to them. The latter have the right to lodge third-party proceedings against them within the period mentioned in article 321 if the action was open to them.

Judges may, of their own motion, order that all interested parties to whom they consider that the judgment should be given be joined.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 324

Les jugements rendus en matière de filiation sont opposables aux personnes qui n’y ont point été parties. Celles-ci ont le droit d’y former tierce opposition dans le délai mentionné à l’article 321 si l’action leur était ouverte.

Les juges peuvent d’office ordonner que soient mis en cause tous les intéressés auxquels ils estiment que le jugement doit être rendu commun.
