Article 1540 of the French Code of civil procedure

In the event of conciliation, even partial conciliation, a statement of agreement may be drawn up and signed by the parties and the conciliator. The conciliation may also be recorded in a statement signed by the conciliator and one or more of the parties where one or more of them have formalised the terms of the agreement to which they consent in a deed signed by them and drawn up outside the presence of the judicial conciliator; it is then the responsibility of the conciliator to endorse the deed in the statement and append it to the statement.

A report must be drawn up when the conciliation results in the waiver of a right.

A copy of the report is given to each interested party. The judicial conciliator also proceeds, without delay, to deposit a copy at the registry of the judicial court.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1540

En cas de conciliation, même partielle, il peut être établi un constat d’accord signé par les parties et le conciliateur de justice. La conciliation peut également être consignée dans un constat signé par le conciliateur et une ou plusieurs des parties lorsque l’une ou plusieurs d’entre elles ont formalisé les termes de l’accord auquel elles consentent dans un acte signé par elles et établi hors la présence du conciliateur de justice ; il incombe alors à ce dernier de viser l’acte dans le constat et de l’annexer à celui-ci.

La rédaction d’un constat est requise lorsque la conciliation a pour effet la renonciation à un droit.

Un exemplaire du constat est remis à chaque intéressé. Le conciliateur de justice procède également, sans délai, au dépôt d’un exemplaire au greffe du tribunal judiciaire.
