Article L312-55 of the French Consumer Code

In the event of a dispute concerning the performance of the main agreement, the court may, until the dispute has been resolved, suspend the performance of the credit agreement. The credit agreement is automatically cancelled or terminated when the agreement for which it was concluded is itself judicially cancelled or terminated.
The provisions of the first paragraph only apply if the creditor has intervened in the proceedings or has been called into question by the seller or borrower.

Article L312-55


En cas de contestation sur l’exécution du contrat principal, le tribunal peut, jusqu’à la solution du litige, suspendre l’exécution du contrat de crédit. Celui-ci est résolu ou annulé de plein droit lorsque le contrat en vue duquel il a été conclu est lui-même judiciairement résolu ou annulé.
Les dispositions du premier alinéa ne sont applicables que si le prêteur est intervenu à l’instance ou s’il a été mis en cause par le vendeur ou l’emprunteur.
