The Registrar immediately sends the defendant a copy of the statement by ordinary letter with the indication that he must, if he intends to defend the review, constitute a lawyer at the Conseil d’Etat and the Cour de cassation.
If the letter of notification is returned to the registry, the Registrar of the Cour de cassation immediately notifies the lawyer of the applicant for review so that he can proceed by way of service. The notice of service indicates to the defendant that he must, if he intends to defend the review, appoint a lawyer at the Conseil d’Etat and the Cour de cassation. This document also specifies the time limit within which the defendant must submit his response to the court registry.
