Article L421-5 of the French Insurance Code

The guarantee fund may intervene, even before the criminal courts and even for the first time on appeal, with a view in particular to contesting the principle or the amount of the compensation claimed, in all proceedings between accident victims or their dependants, on the one hand, and those responsible or their insurers, on the other. In such cases, it acts as the principal claimant and may avail itself of all remedies available under the law.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L421-5

Le fonds de garantie peut intervenir même devant les juridictions répressives et même pour la première fois en cause d’appel, en vue notamment de contester le principe ou le montant de l’indemnité réclamée, dans toutes les instances engagées entre les victimes d’accidents ou leurs ayants droit, d’une part, les responsables ou leurs assureurs, d’autre part. Il intervient alors à titre principal et peut user de toutes les voies de recours ouvertes par la loi.
