Article 528-1 of the French Code of civil procedure

If the judgment has not been notified within two years of its delivery, the party who appeared shall no longer be entitled to bring an appeal as a principal claim after the expiry of the said period.

This provision shall apply only to judgments which decide all the principal claims and to those which, ruling on a procedural objection, a plea of no contest or any other incident, put an end to the proceedings.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 528-1

Si le jugement n’a pas été notifié dans le délai de deux ans de son prononcé, la partie qui a comparu n’est plus recevable à exercer un recours à titre principal après l’expiration dudit délai.

Cette disposition n’est applicable qu’aux jugements qui tranchent tout le principal et à ceux qui, statuant sur une exception de procédure, une fin de non-recevoir ou tout autre incident, mettent fin à l’instance.
