Article 41 of the French Code of civil procedure

Once the dispute has arisen, the parties may always agree that their dispute shall be judged by a court even if that court lacks jurisdiction by reason of the amount of the claim.

They may also, subject to the same proviso and in respect of rights which are freely available to them, agree by virtue of an express agreement that their dispute shall be judged without appeal even if the amount of the claim exceeds the rate of last resort.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 41

Le litige né, les parties peuvent toujours convenir que leur différend sera jugé par une juridiction bien que celle-ci soit incompétente en raison du montant de la demande.

Elles peuvent également, sous la même réserve et pour les droits dont elles ont la libre disposition, convenir en vertu d’un accord exprès que leur différend sera jugé sans appel même si le montant de la demande est supérieur au taux du dernier ressort.
