Article 835 of the French Code of civil procedure

The president of the judicial court or the judge in charge of litigation relating to protection within the limits of his jurisdiction may always, even in the presence of a serious dispute, prescribe in summary proceedings the protective measures or measures of restoration that are necessary, either to prevent imminent damage, or to put an end to a manifestly unlawful disturbance.

In cases where the existence of the obligation is not seriously disputable, they may grant an advance to the creditor, or order performance of the obligation even if it is an obligation to do.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 835

Le président du tribunal judiciaire ou le juge des contentieux de la protection dans les limites de sa compétence peuvent toujours, même en présence d’une contestation sérieuse, prescrire en référé les mesures conservatoires ou de remise en état qui s’imposent, soit pour prévenir un dommage imminent, soit pour faire cesser un trouble manifestement illicite.


Dans les cas où l’existence de l’obligation n’est pas sérieusement contestable, ils peuvent accorder une provision au créancier, ou ordonner l’exécution de l’obligation même s’il s’agit d’une obligation de faire.
