Article 2420 of the French Civil Code

Creditors holding the same rechargeable mortgage benefit from the rank of the registration of the agreement constituting the security.

However, in their relations with each other, the date of publication of the reloading agreements determines their rank. The same applies to creditors holding a legal or judicial mortgage.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 2420

Les créanciers titulaires d’une même hypothèque rechargeable bénéficient du rang de l’inscription de la convention constitutive de la sûreté.


Toutefois, dans leurs relations réciproques, la date de publication des conventions de rechargement détermine leur rang. Il en va de même à l’égard des créanciers titulaires d’une hypothèque légale ou judiciaire.
