Article 900-3 of the French Civil Code

The application for revision is made by way of principal action; it may also be made by way of counterclaim, in response to the action for execution or revocation which the heirs of the disposing person have brought.

It is made against the heirs; it is made at the same time against the public prosecutor if there is doubt as to the existence or identity of some of them; if there is no known heir, it is made against the public prosecutor.

The latter must, in all cases, be given notice of the case.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 900-3

La demande en révision est formée par voie principale ; elle peut l’être aussi par voie reconventionnelle, en réponse à l’action en exécution ou en révocation que les héritiers du disposant ont introduite.

Elle est formée contre les héritiers ; elle l’est en même temps contre le ministère public s’il y a doute sur l’existence ou l’identité de certains d’entre eux ; s’il n’y a pas d’héritier connu, elle est formée contre le ministère public.

Celui-ci doit, dans tous les cas, avoir communication de l’affaire.
