Article 507 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Where the court rules by judgment separate from the judgment on the merits, the appeal is immediately admissible if that judgment puts an end to the proceedings.

If this is not the case and until the time limits for appeal have expired, the judgment is not enforceable and the court cannot rule on the merits.

If no appeal has been lodged or if, before the expiry of the time limits for appeal, the appealing party has not lodged at the registry the application provided for in the following paragraph, the judgment shall be enforceable and the court shall rule on the merits.

The appealing party may lodge at the registry, before the expiry of the time limits for appeal, an application addressed to the president of the criminal appeals chamber seeking to have the appeal declared immediately admissible.

Article 507

Lorsque le tribunal statue par jugement distinct du jugement sur le fond, l’appel est immédiatement recevable si ce jugement met fin à la procédure.

Dans le cas contraire et jusqu’à l’expiration des délais d’appel, le jugement n’est pas exécutoire et le tribunal ne peut statuer au fond.

Si appel n’a pas été interjeté ou si, avant l’expiration du délai d’appel, la partie appelante n’a pas déposé au greffe la requête prévue à l’alinéa suivant, le jugement est exécutoire et le tribunal statue au fond.

La partie appelante peut déposer au greffe, avant l’expiration des délais d’appel, une requête adressée au président de la chambre des appels correctionnels et tendant à faire déclarer l’appel immédiatement recevable.
