Article 910-4 of the French Code of civil procedure

On pain of inadmissibility, raised ex officio, the parties must submit, as early as the submissions mentioned in articles 905-2 and 908 to 910, all their claims on the merits. Inadmissibility may also be invoked by the party against whom subsequent claims are made.

Nonetheless, and without prejudice to paragraph 2 of Article 802, within the limits of the heads of the judgment criticised, claims intended to reply to the opposing submissions and exhibits or to have determined questions arising, subsequent to the first submissions, from the intervention of a third party or from the occurrence or revelation of a fact remain admissible.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 910-4

A peine d’irrecevabilité, relevée d’office, les parties doivent présenter, dès les conclusions mentionnées aux articles 905-2 et 908 à 910, l’ensemble de leurs prétentions sur le fond. L’irrecevabilité peut également être invoquée par la partie contre laquelle sont formées des prétentions ultérieures.


Néanmoins, et sans préjudice de l’alinéa 2 de l’article 802, demeurent recevables, dans les limites des chefs du jugement critiqués, les prétentions destinées à répliquer aux conclusions et pièces adverses ou à faire juger les questions nées, postérieurement aux premières conclusions, de l’intervention d’un tiers ou de la survenance ou de la révélation d’un fait.
