Article 1180-16 of the French Code of civil procedure

Any decision of the judge is notified, at the registry’s behest, to the applicant, the parents and, where applicable, the ad hoc administrator.

A minor who has reached the age of sixteen is notified of the decision by simple letter, unless his or her condition does not allow it.

Notifications are made by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The judge may, however, decide that they will be made by bailiff’s deed.

The issue of a certified copy of a guardianship judge’s decision by the court registry against a dated and signed receipt is deemed to be notification once the interested party has been made aware of the means of appeal and the penalties incurred for abusive appeal.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1180-16

Toute décision du juge est notifiée, à la diligence du greffe, au requérant, aux parents et, le cas échéant, à l’administrateur ad hoc.

Le mineur âgé de seize ans révolus est avisé par lettre simple de la décision, à moins que son état ne le permette pas.

Les notifications sont faites par lettre recommandée avec demande d’avis de réception. Le juge peut toutefois décider qu’elles seront faites par acte d’huissier.

La délivrance d’une copie certifiée conforme d’une décision du juge des tutelles par le greffe contre récépissé daté et signé vaut notification dès lors que les voies de recours et les sanctions encourues pour recours abusif sont portées à la connaissance de l’intéressé.
