Article 766 of the French Code of civil procedure

The parties’ pleadings shall be signed by their lawyer and served in the same way as notifications between lawyers. If there is more than one plaintiff or defendant, they must be notified to all the lawyers who have been constituted. They shall not be admissible until the particulars referred to in paragraph 2 of Article 765 have been provided.

The communication of documents produced is validly attested by the signature of the receiving lawyer affixed to the slip drawn up by the lawyer making the communication.

Article 766

Les conclusions des parties sont signées par leur avocat et notifiées dans la forme des notifications entre avocats. En cas de pluralité de demandeurs ou de défendeurs, elles doivent être notifiées à tous les avocats constitués. Elles ne sont pas recevables tant que les indications mentionnées à l’alinéa 2 de l’article 765 n’auront pas été fournies.


La communication des pièces produites est valablement attestée par la signature de l’avocat destinataire apposée sur le bordereau établi par l’avocat qui procède à la communication.
