Article 756 of the French Code of civil procedure

In cases where the application may be made by petition, the earliest party shall refer the matter to the court by delivering the petition to the registry. This application may be delivered or addressed or made by electronic means in accordance with the conditions laid down by order of the Minister of Justice.

When the parties have submitted their dispute to a court conciliator without reaching an agreement, their petition may also be transmitted to the court registry at their request by the conciliator.

Article 756

Dans les cas où la demande peut être formée par requête, la partie la plus diligente saisit le tribunal par la remise au greffe de la requête. Cette requête peut être remise ou adressée ou effectuée par voie électronique dans les conditions prévues par arrêté du garde des sceaux.


Lorsque les parties ont soumis leur différend à un conciliateur de justice sans parvenir à un accord, leur requête peut également être transmise au greffe à leur demande par le conciliateur..
