Article 618-1 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Where an application for judicial review lodged by the person prosecuted or by the civil party has been dismissed, the court may order the applicant to pay to the other party the sum it determines, in respect of costs not paid by the State and incurred by the latter. The parties may produce evidence of the sums they claim and the court shall take into account the equity or economic situation of the claimant in deciding whether to make such an order and in fixing the amount.

Article 618-1

Lorsqu’une demande en cassation formée par la personne poursuivie ou par la partie civile a été rejetée, la cour peut condamner le demandeur à payer à l’autre partie la somme qu’elle détermine, au titre des frais non payés par l’Etat et exposés par celle-ci. Les parties peuvent produire les justificatifs des sommes qu’elles demandent et la cour tient compte de l’équité ou de la situation économique du demandeur pour décider du prononcé de cette condamnation et en fixer le montant.
