Article 873 of the French Code of civil procedure

The president may, within the same limits, and even in the presence of a serious dispute, prescribe in summary proceedings any conservatory or restoration measures that are necessary, either to prevent imminent damage or to put an end to a manifestly unlawful disturbance.

In cases where the existence of the obligation is not seriously disputable, he may grant an advance to the creditor, or order performance of the obligation even if it is an obligation to do.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 873

Le président peut, dans les mêmes limites, et même en présence d’une contestation sérieuse, prescrire en référé les mesures conservatoires ou de remise en état qui s’imposent, soit pour prévenir un dommage imminent, soit pour faire cesser un trouble manifestement illicite.

Dans les cas où l’existence de l’obligation n’est pas sérieusement contestable, il peut accorder une provision au créancier, ou ordonner l’exécution de l’obligation même s’il s’agit d’une obligation de faire.
