Article R223-31 of the French Commercial code

If they represent at least one tenth of the share capital, members may, in a common interest, instruct one or more of them, at their own expense, to represent them to support, both as plaintiff and defendant, the corporate action against the managers.

The withdrawal during the course of proceedings of one or more of the members referred to in the previous paragraph, either because they have lost their status as a member or because they have voluntarily withdrawn, has no effect on the continuation of the proceedings.

Article R223-31

S’ils représentent au moins le dixième du capital social, des associés peuvent, dans un intérêt commun, charger à leurs frais un ou plusieurs d’entre eux de les représenter pour soutenir, tant en demande qu’en défense, l’action sociale contre les gérants.

Le retrait en cours d’instance d’un ou plusieurs des associés mentionnés à l’alinéa précédent, soit qu’ils aient perdu la qualité d’associé, soit qu’ils se soient volontairement désistés, est sans effet sur la poursuite de l’instance.
