The First President shall rule without debate within one month of the matter being referred to him, after obtaining the opinion of the Public Prosecutor. Where the application for recusal concerns the juge des libertés et de la détention ruling in the disputes referred to in article L. 213-8 of the code de l’organisation judiciaire, the first president shall rule promptly.
The clerk of the court shall, by any means and without delay, notify the parties, the judge whose disqualification has been requested and the president of the court to which this judge belongs or whose removal has been requested of the decision made.
An appeal may be lodged against the order rejecting the request for disqualification or dismissal on grounds of legitimate suspicion within fifteen days of its notification by the clerk of the court.
