The public prosecution is brought against the legal entity in the person of its legal representative at the time of the prosecution. The latter represents the legal entity in all acts of the proceedings. However, where proceedings for the same or related acts are brought against the legal representative, the latter may apply to the president of the judicial court for the appointment of a legal representative to represent the legal person.
The legal entity may also be represented by any person benefiting, in accordance with the law or its articles of association, from a delegation of authority for this purpose.
The person responsible for representing the legal person pursuant to the second paragraph must make his identity known to the court seised, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
The same applies if the legal representative changes during the proceedings.
In the absence of any person entitled to represent the legal person under the conditions provided for in this article, the president of the judicial court shall, at the request of the public prosecutor, the investigating judge or the civil party, appoint a legal representative to represent it.
