Article 585-1 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Unless a dispensation is granted by the President of the Criminal Division, the brief of a plaintiff who has been convicted of a criminal offence must reach the registry of the Court of Cassation no later than one month after the date of the appeal.

The same applies to the statement of a lawyer who constitutes himself on behalf of a plaintiff on appeal.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 585-1

Sauf dérogation accordée par le président de la chambre criminelle, le mémoire du demandeur condamné pénalement doit parvenir au greffe de la Cour de cassation un mois au plus tard après la date du pourvoi.

Il en est de même pour la déclaration de l’avocat qui se constitue au nom d’un demandeur au pourvoi.
