By way of derogation from articles 16-10 and 16-11 of the Civil Code, when the person is incapable of expressing his or her wishes, the examination or identification may be undertaken for medical purposes in the interests of that person.
Prior to carrying out the examination or identification, the doctor shall ensure that the person has not previously objected to it to the trusted support person referred to in article L. 1111-6 of this Code, to his family or, failing that, to a close relative or, where applicable, to the person in charge of a legal protection measure with representation of the person.
