Article L172-22 of the French Insurance Code

In the event of receivership or compulsory liquidation of the insured, the insurer may, if the formal notice has not been followed by payment, cancel the current policy, but the cancellation shall have no effect in respect of the third party in good faith, the beneficiary of the insurance, by virtue of a transfer prior to any claim and to the notification of the cancellation.

In the event of withdrawal of authorisation, receivership or compulsory liquidation of the insurer, the insured has the same rights.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L172-22

En cas de redressement ou de liquidation judiciaire de l’assuré, l’assureur peut, si la mise en demeure n’a pas été suivie de paiement, résilier la police en cours, mais la résiliation est sans effet à l’égard du tiers de bonne foi, bénéficiaire de l’assurance, en vertu d’un transfert antérieur à tout sinistre et à la notification de la résiliation.

En cas de retrait d’agrément, de redressement ou de liquidation judiciaire de l’assureur, l’assuré a les mêmes droits.
