Article D46 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

When the criminal appeals chamber issues a committal order with deferred effect, the public prosecutor has the same prerogatives as the public prosecutor.

If the date set for incarceration is brought to the convicted person’s attention after the hearing, he or she shall issue the order for execution of this warrant provided for in article D. 48-2-5.

If this is not the case, he may refer the matter to the public prosecutor of the judicial court in whose jurisdiction the convicted offender resides for execution of the warrant.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article D46

Lorsque la chambre des appels correctionnels décerne un mandat de dépôt à effet différé, le procureur général dispose des mêmes prérogatives que le procureur de la République.


Si la date fixée pour l’incarcération est portée à la connaissance du condamné à l’issue de l’audience, il délivre l’ordre de mise à exécution de ce mandat prévu par l’article D. 48-2-5.


Dans le cas contraire, il peut saisir le procureur de la République du tribunal judiciaire dans le ressort duquel réside le condamné pour mise à exécution du mandat.
