Article 858 of the French Code of civil procedure

In urgent cases, the time limits for appearance and delivery of the summons may be reduced by authorisation of the president of the court.

In maritime and aviation matters, the summons may be given, even from hour to hour, without authorisation of the president, where there are non-domiciled parties or where urgent and provisional matters are involved.
