== Major reforms — renumbering traps ==

=== Obligations (ordonnance 2016-131, effective 1 Oct 2016) ===

Key renumbering: 1134→1103+1104, 1147→1231-1, 1382→1240, 1383→1241, 1384→1242.
Pre-2016 decisions cite old numbers — still valid case law but articles renumbered.
CRITICAL: contracts before 1 Oct 2016 → old articles apply. Don't apply new numbering to old contracts.

=== Security interests (ordonnance 2021-1192, effective 1 Jan 2022) ===

Reorganized Code civil Book IV ("sûretés").

=== Criminal justice for minors (effective 30 Sep 2021) ===

"Code de justice pénale des mineurs" replaced 1945 "ordonnance."

=== Criminal procedure (loi n° 2024-364 du 22 avril 2024, effective 1 Jul 2024) ===

Articles 63 et seq. CPP (garde à vue) modified. Check version applicable: pre- or post-1 Jul 2024.

=== Transitional law ===

Applicable version = date of facts, not date of question. Non-retroactivity (art. 2 CC). Immediate application of new procedural law. Criminal "in mitius" (more lenient = retroactive). Check transitional articles in recently reformed texts.
