1 The declaration of presumed death becomes subject to the new law when this Code comes into force.
2 When this Code comes into force, declarations of death or absence under the previous law have the same effects as a declaration of presumed death under the new law, but the consequences that have occurred under the previous law prior to this Code coming into force, such as succession or dissolution of marriage, remain valid.
3 Proceedings pending when the new law comes into force shall be restarted in accordance with the provisions of this Code, taking account of the time that has elapsed, or, if requested by the parties, concluded in accordance with the previous procedure, respecting the previous deadlines.
1 L’exercice des droits civils est régi, dans tous les cas, par les dispositions de la présente loi.
2 Toutefois, les personnes qui, à teneur de l’ancienne loi, étaient capables d’exercer leurs droits civils lors de l’entrée en vigueur de la loi nouvelle, mais qui ne le seraient plus à teneur de celle-ci, ne subissent aucune diminution de leur capacité.
