Article L1113-3 of the French Public Health Code

The liability provided for in article L. 1113-1 extends without limitation to objects of any kind held, at the time of their admission to the institution, by persons who are unable to express their wishes or who need to receive emergency care and who, as a result, are unable to carry out the formalities for deposit under the conditions provided for in article L. 1113-1. In this case, these formalities are carried out by the establishment’s staff.

As soon as they are in a position to do so, the persons mentioned in this article shall proceed with the withdrawal of objects that cannot be deposited under the conditions provided for in article L. 1113-1.
