Article R221-52 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

The action for diversion ceases to be admissible after the sale of the seized property; only the action for revendication may then be brought.
However, a third party who is recognised as the owner of property that has already been sold may divert the price thereof, without deduction of costs, until the sums generated by the sale have been distributed.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R221-52


L’action en distraction cesse d’être recevable après la vente des biens saisis ; seule peut alors être exercée l’action en revendication.
Toutefois, le tiers reconnu propriétaire d’un bien déjà vendu peut en distraire le prix, non diminué des frais, jusqu’à la distribution des sommes produites par la vente.
