Article 2402

An event which has terminated the mandate may only be invoked against the other party who had no actual knowledge of the termination of the mandate nor of the event in the following circumstances:

If the termination of the mandate or the event which has terminated it has been communicated to the other party or has been made public in a manner which, by virtue of law or common opinion, justifies that the mandator can set up the termination of the mandate against the other party;

If the death of the mandator was generally known;

If the appointment or employment that gave rise to the mandate has been terminated in a fashion apparent to third persons;

If the other party has obtained knowledge of the mandate solely by means of a declaration by the mandatary.

A mandatary who continues to act in the name of the mandator in the circumstances described in sub-Article (1) is liable to pay damages to the other party who had no actual knowledge of the termination of the mandate. The mandatary is not liable if he did not know nor ought to have known that the mandate had been terminated.
