Article R623-20 of the French Consumer Code

The power of attorney for the purposes of compensation given to the association by virtue of the consumer’s membership of the group is equivalent to the power to carry out on the consumer’s behalf all procedural acts and steps with a view to obtaining compensation for the individual loss suffered by the consumer and falling within the scope of the group action brought by that association, in particular for the exercise of remedies.
