Article 743 of the French Code of civil procedure

The judge assigned may refuse, of his own motion or at the request of any interested person, the execution of a letter rogatory if he considers that it does not fall within his powers. He must refuse it if it is likely to prejudice the sovereignty or security of the French State.

In the same cases, interested persons may also ask the judge assigned to rescind the measures he has already taken and to annul the acts recording the execution of the letters rogatory.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 743

Le juge commis peut refuser, d’office ou à la demande de toute personne intéressée, l’exécution d’une commission rogatoire s’il estime qu’elle ne rentre pas dans ses attributions. Il doit la refuser si elle est de nature à porter atteinte à la souveraineté ou à la sécurité de l’Etat français.

Les personnes intéressées peuvent également, dans ces mêmes cas, demander au juge commis de rapporter les mesures qu’il a déjà prises et d’annuler les actes constatant l’exécution de la commission rogatoire.
