Article 502 of the French Civil Code

The family council or, failing that, the judge rules on the authorisations that the guardian applies for for acts that he or she cannot perform alone.

However, the authorisations of the family council may be replaced by those of the judge if the acts relate to property whose capital value does not exceed a sum set by decree.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 502

Le conseil de famille ou, à défaut, le juge statue sur les autorisations que le tuteur sollicite pour les actes qu’il ne peut accomplir seul.

Toutefois, les autorisations du conseil de famille peuvent être suppléées par celles du juge si les actes portent sur des biens dont la valeur en capital n’excède pas une somme fixée par décret.
