The French Genealogy Blog recently reported on limitations to access of French vital records. These embargos have been in effect since 2008.

·         Birth registration / acte de naissance - 75 years
·         Marriage registration / acte de mariage - 75 years
·         Death registration / acte de décès - no restriction
·         Ten-year indices to the above three /  tables décennales - no restriction
·         Census returns / recensements - 75 years
·         Notarial records / actes notariés - 75 years
·         Judicial records / archives judiciaires - 75 years
·         Personnel records / dossier de personnel - 50 years
·         Medical records / secret médical - 25 years after the death of the individual or 120 years after his or her birth

However, they make the point that  "public access to the record does not mean that the information may be published."   The blog cited a recent court case where a historian had researched over 6,000 families. In his research he gathered thousands of vital records and published them in a book. Some of the people who were subjects of the records are still alive. On one of the birth records, a marginal note commented that the child had been adopted. That person is still alive and he and his son sued the author for revealing the about the adoption, without permission, stating it was a privacy violation. They also criticized the author for defending his contention that an adoptive filiations is worthless in the face of filiation by blood. The book is about French nobility. 

The plaintiffs argued that the law of July 2008 which reduced the vital records embargo period from 100 years to75 years (see above) does not allow the use of civil registration data without the prior consent of the persons concerned.  The court ruled in the plaintiff's  favor. The Paris Court of Appeal ruled in April 2016 that the fact that the information has already been published, even with the agreement of the concerned person, "does not affect the existence of this invasion of privacy." The author and writer then appealed to the Court of Cassation, the highest appellate court which interprets law only, and does not reexamine the facts of the case. That court also found for the plaintiff, stating "the establishment of parentage fall within private life and enjoy protections under the Civil Code."
