Any minor who is the victim of one of the offences mentioned in Article 706-47 shall be assisted by a lawyer when heard by the investigating judge. If the minor’s legal representatives or ad hoc administrator fail to appoint a lawyer, the judge immediately notifies the President of the Bar so that he can appoint a lawyer ex officio. The provisions of article 114 shall apply to this lawyer in the event of subsequent hearings.

Les dispositions de l’article 114 sont applicables à cet avocat en cas d’auditions ultérieures.
