Article 21

Dispositions générales

Civil Administration
Titre III: Des Actes de l'État civil (On Civil Status Records)
Chapitre I: Dispositions générales (General Provisions)

Le lieutenant de juge est responsable des altérations qui pourraient survenir aux registres ; il pourra cependant exercer son recours, s'il y a lieu, contre les auteurs desdites altérations.

Life lesson: The custodian of truth bears the weight of every lie that enters his keeping — even those he did not write.
Notes: Strict liability for the lieutenant judge over register integrity, with right of recourse against actual perpetrators. Places the burden of proof on the custodian, not the public.
