Article 495-11-1 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Without prejudice to cases in which the conditions set out in the first paragraph of article 495-11 are not met, the president may refuse homologation if he considers that the nature of the facts, the personality of the person concerned, the situation of the victim or the interests of society justify an ordinary correctional hearing or when the statements of the victim heard pursuant to article 495-13 shed new light on the conditions under which the offence was committed or on the personality of its perpetrator.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 495-11-1

Sans préjudice des cas dans lesquels les conditions prévues au premier alinéa de l’article 495-11 ne sont pas remplies, le président peut refuser l’homologation s’il estime que la nature des faits, la personnalité de l’intéressé, la situation de la victime ou les intérêts de la société justifient une audience correctionnelle ordinaire ou lorsque les déclarations de la victime entendue en application de l’article 495-13 apportent un éclairage nouveau sur les conditions dans lesquelles l’infraction a été commise ou sur la personnalité de son auteur.
