Article L131-11 of the French Monetary and Financial Code

If the cheque bears the signatures of persons incapable of binding themselves by cheque, or forged signatures, or signatures of fictitious persons, or signatures which for any other reason cannot bind the persons who signed the cheque, or in whose name it was signed, the obligations of the other signatories are none the less valid.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L131-11

Si le chèque porte des signatures de personnes incapables de s’obliger par chèques, des signatures fausses ou des signatures de personnes imaginaires, ou des signatures qui, pour toute autre raison, ne sauraient obliger les personnes qui ont signé le chèque, ou au nom desquelles il a été signé, les obligations des autres signataires n’en sont pas moins valables.
