Article 1004 of the French Code of civil procedure

Where the statement of appeal does not contain a statement, even a summary statement, of the grounds of appeal relied on against the contested decision, the appellant must, on pain of inadmissibility pronounced ex officio, send to the registry of the Cour de cassation, no later than one month from the date of the statement, a factum containing such a statement.

This factum may be drawn up by the party’s agent without further special authority.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1004

Lorsque la déclaration du pourvoi ne contient pas l’énoncé, même sommaire, des moyens de cassation invoqués contre la décision attaquée, le demandeur doit, à peine d’irrecevabilité prononcée d’office, faire parvenir au greffe de la Cour de cassation, au plus tard dans un délai d’un mois à compter de la déclaration, un mémoire contenant cet énoncé.

Ce mémoire peut être établi par le mandataire de la partie sans nouveau pouvoir spécial.
