Article 1246 of the French Code of civil procedure

The court may, even of its own motion, substitute a new decision for that of the guardianship judge or the deliberation of the family council.

Until the close of the proceedings before the court, the guardianship judge and the family council remain competent to take any decision or deliberation necessary to preserve the rights and interests of the protected person. The clerk’s office of the court of first instance immediately forwards a copy of this decision or deliberation to the clerk’s office of the court.

La cour peut, même d’office, substituer une décision nouvelle à celle du juge des tutelles ou à la délibération du conseil de famille.


Jusqu’à la clôture des débats devant la cour, le juge des tutelles et le conseil de famille demeurent compétents pour prendre toute décision ou délibération nécessaire à la préservation des droits et intérêts de la personne protégée. Le greffe de la juridiction de première instance transmet immédiatement copie de cette décision ou délibération au greffe de la cour.
