Article L133-8 of the French Commercial code

Only inexcusable fault on the part of the carrier or freight forwarder is equivalent to wilful misconduct. Deliberate fault is inexcusable if it implies awareness of the probability of damage and reckless acceptance without valid reason. Any clause to the contrary is deemed unwritten.
