Article 242 of the French Code of civil procedure

The technician may take oral or written information from any person, provided that their surname, forenames, place of residence and profession are specified, as well as, if applicable, their relationship of kinship or marriage to the parties, subordination to them, collaboration or community of interest with them.

Where the appointed technician or the parties request that these persons be heard by the judge, the judge shall proceed to hear them if he considers it useful.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 242
Le technicien peut recueillir des informations orales ou écrites de toutes personnes, sauf à ce que soient précisés leurs nom, prénoms, demeure et profession ainsi que, s’il y a lieu, leur lien de parenté ou d’alliance avec les parties, de subordination à leur égard, de collaboration ou de communauté d’intérêts avec elles.

Lorsque le technicien commis ou les parties demandent que ces personnes soient entendues par le juge, celui-ci procède à leur audition s’il l’estime utile.
