Material errors and omissions affecting a judgment, even one that has become res judicata, may always be remedied by the court that rendered it or by the court to which it is referred, depending on what the case file reveals or, failing that, what reason dictates.
The court is seised by a simple request from one of the parties, or by a joint request; it may also seise itself of its own motion.
The court rules after hearing the parties or those who have been called. However, when the matter is referred to him by petition, he shall rule without a hearing, unless he deems it necessary to hear the parties.
The rectifying decision shall be mentioned on the original and on the copies of the judgment. It is notified in the same way as the judgment.
If the rectified decision has the force of res judicata, the rectifying decision may only be challenged by way of an appeal in cassation.
