Article L173-22 of the French Insurance Code

In the event that an insured who has taken out a policy operating by declaration of foodstuffs has not complied with the obligations laid down by decree, the contract may be cancelled without delay at the request of the insurer, who shall also be entitled to the premiums corresponding to the undeclared shipments.

If the insured is in bad faith, the insurer may exercise the right to recover payments made for claims relating to shipments subsequent to the first intentional omission by the insured.

Article L173-22

Au cas où l’assuré qui a contracté une police fonctionnant par déclaration d’aliment ne s’est pas conformé aux obligations prévues par décret, le contrat peut être résilié sans délai à la demande de l’assureur, qui a droit, en outre, aux primes correspondant aux expéditions non déclarées.

Si l’assuré est de mauvaise foi, l’assureur peut exercer le droit de répétition sur les versements qu’il a effectués pour les sinistres relatifs aux expéditions postérieures à la première omission intentionnelle de l’assuré.
