Article 379 of the French Code of civil procedure

A stay of proceedings does not relieve the judge of jurisdiction. On expiry of the stay, the proceedings shall be continued on the initiative of the parties or at the instance of the judge, subject to the power to order a further stay if appropriate.

The judge may, depending on the circumstances, revoke the stay or shorten the time limit.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 379

Le sursis à statuer ne dessaisit pas le juge. A l’expiration du sursis, l’instance est poursuivie à l’initiative des parties ou à la diligence du juge, sauf la faculté d’ordonner, s’il y a lieu, un nouveau sursis.

Le juge peut, suivant les circonstances, révoquer le sursis ou en abréger le délai.
