Key legal question
Whether the constitution of a bearer mortgage note required the spouse's express consent under Art. 169 CC
Extracted holding
The mere creation of the bearer mortgage note did not affect the validity of the pledge title and did not require the spouse's consent.
Extracted reasoning
Under Art. 169 CC, the protected act is the disposition that may restrict family housing rights; the note itself has only formal existence until disposed of, e.g. pledged.
