Article 574 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The decision of the investigating chamber to refer the accused to the criminal court or police court may only be challenged before the Cour de cassation where it rules, of its own motion or on a plea by the parties, on jurisdiction or where it sets out final provisions which the court, hearing the pre-trial proceedings, does not have the power to amend.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 574

L’arrêt de la chambre de l’instruction portant renvoi du prévenu devant le tribunal correctionnel ou de police ne peut être attaqué devant la Cour de cassation que lorsqu’il statue, d’office ou sur déclinatoire des parties, sur la compétence ou qu’il présente des dispositions définitives que le tribunal, saisi de la prévention, n’a pas le pouvoir de modifier.
