The sentence enforcement judge who, in the case provided for by Article 712-8, considers modifying a measure on its own initiative or receives a request for modification from the sentenced person, communicates the case file to the public prosecutor for an opinion, before ruling by reasoned order or, if the public prosecutor has so requested, after an adversarial debate, in accordance with the provisions of this article.
When the sentence enforcement judge takes up the case of his own motion or when it is referred to him by the public prosecutor and no adversarial hearing is held, he shall first obtain the opinion of the sentenced person or have it obtained.
