Article L2333-87-8 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

The court shall order the losing party to pay the other party the sum it determines, in respect of costs incurred and not included in the costs. The parties may produce evidence of the sums they claim and the judge shall take into account the equity or economic situation of the party ordered to pay. He may, even of his own motion, for reasons based on the same considerations, declare that there are no grounds for such an order.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L2333-87-8

La juridiction condamne la partie perdante à payer à l’autre partie la somme qu’elle détermine, au titre des frais exposés et non compris dans les dépens. Les parties peuvent produire les justificatifs des sommes qu’elles demandent et le juge tient compte de l’équité ou de la situation économique de la partie condamnée. Il peut, même d’office, pour des raisons tirées des mêmes considérations, dire qu’il n’y a pas lieu à cette condamnation.
