If the judgment is set aside because the court considers that the act constitutes only a contravention, it will impose the penalty and rule, if appropriate, on the civil action.

Article 518

Si le jugement est annulé parce que la cour estime que le fait ne constitue qu’une contravention, elle prononce la peine et statue, s’il y a lieu, sur l’action civile.
