Article 234 of the French Code of civil procedure

Technicians may be challenged on the same grounds as judges. In the case of a legal entity, the challenge may concern both the legal entity itself and the natural person(s) approved by the judge.

The party who intends to challenge the technician must do so before the judge who appointed him or before the judge in charge of the review before the start of the operations or as soon as the reason for the challenge is revealed.

If the technician considers that he can be challenged, he must immediately declare this to the judge who assigned him or to the judge in charge of the review.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 234
Les techniciens peuvent être récusés pour les mêmes causes que les juges. S’il s’agit d’une personne morale, la récusation peut viser tant la personne morale elle-même que la ou les personnes physiques agréées par le juge.

La partie qui entend récuser le technicien doit le faire devant le juge qui l’a commis ou devant le juge chargé du contrôle avant le début des opérations ou dès la révélation de la cause de la récusation.

Si le technicien s’estime récusable, il doit immédiatement le déclarer au juge qui l’a commis ou au juge chargé du contrôle.
