Article 801 of the French Code of civil procedure

If the lawyers fail to complete the procedural acts within the time limits set, the Pre-Trial Judge may, ex officio, after giving notice to the lawyers, issue a reasoned striking-off order that is not subject to appeal.

A copy of this order shall be sent to each of the parties by simple letter addressed to their actual domicile or residence.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 801

Si les avocats s’abstiennent d’accomplir les actes de la procédure dans les délais impartis, le juge de la mise en état peut, d’office, après avis donné aux avocats, prendre une ordonnance de radiation motivée non susceptible de recours.


Copie de cette ordonnance est adressée à chacune des parties par lettre simple adressée à leur domicile réel ou à leur résidence.
