Article 971 of the French Code of civil procedure

The lawyers of each of the parties are summoned or notified of the charges incumbent upon them, by the president or by the Conseiller de la Mise en Prejudice according to the way in which the case is being heard; they are summoned or notified orally, with the signatures of the parties and an entry in the file.

In the event of their absence, they are so notified by a simple bulletin dated and signed by the court clerk and delivered or deposited by the latter at the place where notifications between lawyers are made, at the seat of the court.

Injunctions must always give rise to the issue of a bulletin.
