Article 269 of the French Code of civil procedure

When appointing the expert or as soon as he is in a position to do so, the judge who orders the expert report or the judge in charge of the review sets the amount of an advance on the expert’s remuneration that is as close as possible to his foreseeable final remuneration. It shall designate the party or parties who must deposit the advance at the court registry within a period of time that it shall determine; if several parties are designated, it shall indicate in what proportion each of the parties must deposit. Where appropriate, the court shall specify the time limits that may be attached to the deposit.

Article 269

Le juge qui ordonne l’expertise ou le juge chargé du contrôle fixe, lors de la nomination de l’expert ou dès qu’il est en mesure de le faire, le montant d’une provision à valoir sur la rémunération de l’expert aussi proche que possible de sa rémunération définitive prévisible. Il désigne la ou les parties qui devront consigner la provision au greffe de la juridiction dans le délai qu’il détermine ; si plusieurs parties sont désignées, il indique dans quelle proportion chacune des parties devra consigner. Il aménage, s’il y a lieu, les échéances dont la consignation peut être assortie.
