If a document cannot be sent electronically for reasons beyond the control of the person sending it, it shall be drawn up on paper and delivered to the court registry or sent to it by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. In this case, the statement of appeal is delivered or sent to the court registry in as many copies as there are addressees, plus two. Delivery is recorded by mentioning its date and the registrar’s endorsement on each copy, one of which is returned immediately.
Where the statement of appeal is made by post, the registry registers the document on the date shown on the stamp of the issuing office and sends the appellant a receipt by any means.
Notices, warnings or summonses shall be delivered to the parties’ lawyers by electronic means, unless this is impossible for reasons unrelated to the sender.
An order of the Minister of Justice shall define the procedures for exchanges by electronic means.
