Article 1440-1-1 of the French Code of civil procedure

The information enabling the natural persons mentioned in the decision to be identified, where they are parties or third parties, shall be blacked out by the court clerk before the decision is handed down if its disclosure would be likely to undermine the security or privacy of these persons or their entourage. In any event, this concealment is carried out when it has been decided, for these persons, in application of articles R. 111-12 or R. 111-13.

These provisions do not apply to access to judgments exercised pursuant to articles L. 213-1 to L. 213-5 of the Heritage Code.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1440-1-1

Les éléments permettant d’identifier les personnes physiques mentionnées dans la décision, lorsqu’elles sont parties ou tiers, sont occultés par le greffier préalablement à la remise de la décision si leur divulgation est de nature à porter atteinte à la sécurité ou au respect de la vie privée de ces personnes ou de leur entourage. En tout état de cause, il est procédé à cette occultation lorsqu’elle a été décidée, pour ces personnes, en application des articles R. 111-12 ou R. 111-13.


Ces dispositions ne s’appliquent pas à l’accès aux jugements exercé en application des articles L. 213-1 à L. 213-5 du code du patrimoine.
