Article 861 of the French Code of civil procedure

In the absence of conciliation, if the case is not ready for trial, the panel shall refer it to a future hearing or assign one of its members to hear it.

Unless the case is decided at the first hearing, the court clerk shall notify by any means the parties who have not been notified orally of the date of subsequent hearings.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 861

En l’absence de conciliation, si l’affaire n’est pas en état d’être jugée, la formation de jugement la renvoie à une prochaine audience ou confie à l’un de ses membres le soin de l’instruire.

A moins que l’affaire ne soit jugée dès la première audience, le greffier avise par tous moyens les parties qui ne l’auraient pas été verbalement de la date des audiences ultérieures.
