Where representation is compulsory, the representatives of the parties must also first be notified of the judgment:
a) By delivery of a copy of the decision by the court registry, where the parties are notified of the judgment at its own request;
b) In the form of notification between lawyers in other cases, on pain of nullity of the notification to the party; mention of the accomplishment of this formality must be made in the document of notification intended for the party.
These provisions do not apply if the representative has died or ceased to hold office. In this case, the notification is made to the party with the indication of the death or cessation of functions.
The time limit for exercising the appeal starts from the notification to the party itself.
