The legal analysis of the COVID-19 regulations in France

To face all concerns raised by the current lockdown in France against coronavirus said COVID-19, we are all working to follow up on the latest governmental updates regarding the lockdown rules adopted by the French government.

By Ordonnance dated 15 April 2020, the French government has clarified the suspension order dated 25 March 2020 n° 2020-306 in modifying article 2 so that it now states :

“This article is not applicable to the periods of reflection, withdrawal or renunciation provided for by law or the regulations, nor to the periods provided for the reimbursement of sums of money in the event of exercise of these rights.”

This Ordonnance dated 15 April 2020 also clarifies the situation of the timeframe for any preemption period. It also addresses  the payment of any debts that was due during this national crisis.
