Article 2337 of the French Civil Code

The pledge is enforceable against third parties by the publication made of it.

It is also enforceable against third parties by the dispossession in the hands of the creditor or an agreed third party of the property which is the subject of it or of the document of title which, such as a bill of lading, represents it.

Where the pledge has been duly published, the successors in title of the pledgor may not rely on Article 2276.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2337

Le gage est opposable aux tiers par la publicité qui en est faite.

Il l’est également par la dépossession entre les mains du créancier ou d’un tiers convenu du bien qui en fait l’objet ou du titre qui, tel un connaissement, le représente.

Lorsque le gage a été régulièrement publié, les ayants cause à titre particulier du constituant ne peuvent se prévaloir de l’article 2276.
