Article 375 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The court orders the offender to pay the civil party the sum it determines, in respect of costs not paid by the State and incurred by the latter. The parties may produce evidence of the sums they claim and the court shall take into account the fairness or economic situation of the convicted party. It may, even of its own motion, for reasons drawn from the same considerations, declare that there are no grounds for such an award.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 375

La cour condamne l’auteur de l’infraction à payer à la partie civile la somme qu’elle détermine, au titre des frais non payés par l’Etat et exposés par celle-ci. Les parties peuvent produire les justificatifs des sommes qu’elles demandent et la cour tient compte de l’équité ou de la situation économique de la partie condamnée. Elle peut, même d’office, pour des raisons tirées des mêmes considérations, dire qu’il n’y a pas lieu à cette condamnation.
