Article 2439 of the French Civil Code

Where registrations taken under a general legal mortgage are excessive, the debtor may request their reduction by complying with the jurisdictional rules set out in Article 2437.

Registrations which encumber several properties are deemed to be excessive when the value of one or more of them exceeds a sum equal to twice the amount of the legal capital claims and accessories, plus one third of this amount.
