Article 423 of the French Civil Code

Liability actions are time-barred after five years from the end of the protective measure even if the management would have continued beyond that date. However, where guardianship has ceased by the opening of a guardianship measure, the time limit only runs from the expiry of the latter.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 423

L’action en responsabilité se prescrit par cinq ans à compter de la fin de la mesure de protection alors même que la gestion aurait continué au-delà. Toutefois, lorsque la curatelle a cessé par l’ouverture d’une mesure de tutelle, le délai ne court qu’à compter de l’expiration de cette dernière.
