Article 1642
Discharge of Functions
(1)
For the purpose of Article 1640 and 1641, a liability is incurred in the discharge of functions where the faulty act or forbearance was committed with the intention of carrying out such functions.
#(2)
The fact, that the faulty act or forbearance was ultra vires, or that its author was formally forbidden to commit it, does not release the person answerable for him under the civil law, unless the victim knew or ought to have known of that fact.
