Article 412 of the French Civil Code

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.

Tous les organes de la tutelle sont responsables du dommage résultant d’une faute quelconque qu’ils commettent dans l’exercice de leur fonction.

Lorsque la faute à l’origine du dommage a été commise dans l’organisation et le fonctionnement de la tutelle par le juge des tutelles, le directeur des services de greffe judiciaires du tribunal judiciaire ou le greffier, l’action en responsabilité est dirigée contre l’Etat qui dispose d’une action récursoire.
