Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 68, the incidental request for the granting of a payment deadline pursuant to the article 1343-5 of the Civil Code may be made by post delivered or addressed to the court registry. The documents that the party wishes to invoke in support of its request are attached to its letter. The application is communicated to the other parties at the hearing by the judge, unless the judge decides to have the application notified to them by the court clerk, together with the attachments, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.
The author of this incidental request may not appear at the hearing, in accordance with the second paragraph of article 446-1. In this case, the judge will only allow the claims made against this party if he considers them to be regular, admissible and well-founded.
