That's -definitely- a concern in the real world. It's much more difficult to attract investment if you're a country without a rigid legal system and the rule of law.

French Mirus is a bit of a special case since most of it, until 2807, was considered a militarily administrated zone. That meant that French law and the French constitution didn't apply. However, the territory will be split up into a number of different polities and officially join the French Empire as a group of incorporated organized territories to whom the French constitution most definitely applies. That means that property, whether foreign or native, is most definitely going to be protected from warrantless or unjust search and seizure, and France has one of the most robust legal systems in the GQ to back that up.

Hesitating on that provision has less to do with France wanting to seize vessels and more with a more abstract and theoretical concern, and that is sovereignty.
