Article 590 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The pleadings shall contain the grounds of cassation and refer to the legal texts whose infringement is alleged.

They are drawn up on a stamp, unless the applicant is a person sentenced to a criminal penalty.

They must be filed within the time limit. No additional pleadings may be attached to them after the assigned adviser has filed his report. Late filing of a pleading proposing additional pleas may result in its inadmissibility.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 590
Les mémoires contiennent les moyens de cassation et visent les textes de loi dont la violation est invoquée.

Ils sont rédigés sur timbre, sauf si le demandeur est un condamné à une peine criminelle.

Ils doivent être déposés dans le délai imparti. Aucun mémoire additionnel n’y peut être joint, postérieurement au dépôt de son rapport par le conseiller commis. Le dépôt tardif d’un mémoire proposant des moyens additionnels peut entraîner son irrecevabilité.
