Article 380 of the French Code of civil procedure

The stay decision may be appealed with the permission of the first president of the court of appeal if there is a serious and legitimate reason.

The party wishing to appeal shall refer the matter to the first president, who shall rule in accordance with the accelerated procedure on the merits. The summons must be issued within one month of the decision.

If he grants the application, the first president shall, by a decision that is not subject to appeal, set the day on which the case will be heard by the court, which shall be seised and rule as in matters of procedure on a fixed date or as stated in Article 948, as applicable.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 380

La décision de sursis peut être frappée d’appel sur autorisation du premier président de la cour d’appel s’il est justifié d’un motif grave et légitime.

La partie qui veut faire appel saisit le premier président, qui statue selon la procédure accélérée au fond. L’assignation doit être délivrée dans le mois de la décision.

S’il accueille la demande, le premier président fixe, par une décision insusceptible de pourvoi, le jour où l’affaire sera examinée par la cour, laquelle est saisie et statue comme en matière de procédure à jour fixe ou comme il est dit à l’article 948, selon le cas.
