Article 88 of the French Code of civil procedure

Where the court is a court of appeal in relation to the court which it considers to have jurisdiction, it may raise the merits of the case if it considers that it would be in the interests of justice to give the case a definitive solution after having itself ordered, where appropriate, a measure of inquiry.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 88

Lorsque la cour est juridiction d’appel relativement à la juridiction qu’elle estime compétente, elle peut évoquer le fond si elle estime de bonne justice de donner à l’affaire une solution définitive après avoir ordonné elle-même, le cas échéant, une mesure d’instruction.
