Article L132-10 of the French Insurance Code

The insurance policy may be pledged either by endorsement or by deed subject to the formalities set out in articles 2355 to 2366 of the Civil Code.

Where the beneficiary’s acceptance precedes the pledge, the pledge is subject to the beneficiary’s agreement.

Where the beneficiary’s acceptance is subsequent to the pledge, it has no effect on the rights of the secured creditor.

In the absence of a clause to the contrary, the pledged creditor may cause the redemption notwithstanding the beneficiary’s acceptance.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L132-10

La police d’assurance peut être donnée en nantissement soit par avenant, soit par acte soumis aux formalités des articles 2355 à 2366 du code civil.

Quand l’acceptation du bénéficiaire est antérieure au nantissement, ce dernier est subordonné à l’accord du bénéficiaire.

Quand l’acceptation du bénéficiaire est postérieure au nantissement, celle-ci est sans effet à l’égard des droits du créancier nanti.

Sauf clause contraire, le créancier nanti peut provoquer le rachat nonobstant l’acceptation du bénéficiaire.
