Article 704 of the French Code of civil procedure

The parties may, in the event of difficulties, request, without form, from the registrar of the court having jurisdiction pursuant to Article 52, to verify the amount of costs mentioned in Article 695.

The same applies to a court officer who intends to recover costs; his application is then accompanied by the detailed account that he is required to submit to the parties under the tariff regulations. This account shall mention the provisions received.

Article 704

Les parties peuvent, en cas de difficultés, demander, sans forme, au greffier de la juridiction compétente en application de l’article 52, de vérifier le montant des dépens mentionnés à l’article 695.

Il en est de même de l’auxiliaire de justice qui entend recouvrer les dépens ; sa demande est alors accompagnée du compte détaillé qu’il est tenu de remettre aux parties en vertu de la réglementation tarifaire. Ce compte mentionne les provisions reçues.
