Article 774 of the French Code of civil procedure

In ordinary written proceedings, the lawyers of each of the parties are summoned or notified of the duties incumbent upon them by the president or by the pre-trial judge, depending on the way in which the case is heard; they are summoned or notified orally, with the names of the members of the panel marked and mentioned in the file.

In the event of their absence, they are notified by a simple notice, dated and signed by the court clerk, and delivered or deposited by the latter at the place where notifications between lawyers are made at the seat of the court.
Injunctions must always give rise to the issue of a bulletin.

Article 774

En procédure écrite ordinaire, les avocats de chacune des parties sont convoqués ou avisés des charges qui leur incombent par le président ou par le juge de la mise en état, selon le mode d’instruction de l’affaire ; ils sont convoqués ou avisés verbalement, avec émargement et mention au dossier.


En cas d’absence, ils le sont par simple bulletin, daté et signé par le greffier, et remis ou déposé par celui-ci au lieu où sont effectuées, au siège du tribunal, les notifications entre avocats.


Les injonctions doivent toujours donner lieu à la délivrance d’un bulletin.
