Article 774-1 of the French Code of civil procedure

The judge hearing a dispute involving rights that are freely available to the parties may, at the request of one of the parties or ex officio after obtaining their opinion, decide that they will be summoned to an amicable settlement hearing held by a judge who does not sit on the bench in the cases provided for by law.

This decision is a measure of judicial administration. It does not relieve the judge of jurisdiction.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 774-1

Le juge saisi d’un litige portant sur des droits dont les parties ont la libre disposition peut, à la demande de l’une des parties ou d’office après avoir recueilli leur avis, décider qu’elles seront convoquées à une audience de règlement amiable tenue par un juge qui ne siège pas dans la formation de jugement dans les cas prévus par la loi.

Cette décision est une mesure d’administration judiciaire. Elle ne dessaisit pas le juge.
