Section 2: Organisation and operation of guardianship

All guardianship bodies are liable for damage resulting from any fault they commit in the performance of their duties. Where the fault causing the damage was committed in the organisation and operation of guardianship by the guardianship judge, the director of the judicial registry services of the judicial court or the registrar, the liability action is directed against the State, which has a recourse action. .

Liability actions are barred after five years from the date on which the person concerned comes of age, even if the management would have continued beyond that date, or from the end of the measure if it ceases before then.
