After the time limit given to the parties by Article 282 to submit their observations, the judge sets the expert’s remuneration in the light, in particular, of the diligence carried out, compliance with the time limits set and the quality of the work provided.
The judge authorises the expert to recover the sums deposited with the court registry up to the amount due. It orders, as the case may be, either the payment of the additional sums due to the expert, indicating the party or parties responsible for them, or the return of the sums deposited in excess.
When the judge considers setting the expert’s remuneration at an amount lower than the amount requested, he must first invite the expert to make his observations.
The judge shall issue the expert with a writ of execution.
