Article L342-13 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

The appeal does not have suspensive effect.
However, the public prosecutor may ask the first president of the court of appeal or his delegate to declare his appeal suspensive. In this case, the appeal, together with the request, must be lodged within ten hours of notification of the order to the public prosecutor and forwarded to the first president of the court of appeal or his delegate. The latter will decide, without delay, whether to give suspensive effect to the appeal on the basis of the evidence in the case. The person concerned shall be kept at the disposal of the justice system until this order is made and, if it gives suspensive effect to the public prosecutor’s appeal, until a decision is made on the merits of the case.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L342-13


L’appel n’est pas suspensif.
Toutefois, le ministère public peut demander au premier président de la cour d’appel ou à son délégué de déclarer son recours suspensif. Dans ce cas, l’appel, accompagné de la demande, est formé dans un délai de dix heures à compter de la notification de l’ordonnance au procureur de la République et transmis au premier président de la cour d’appel ou à son délégué. Celui-ci décide, sans délai, s’il y a lieu, au vu des pièces du dossier, de donner à cet appel un effet suspensif. Il statue par une ordonnance motivée rendue contradictoirement qui n’est pas susceptible de recours.
L’intéressé est maintenu à la disposition de la justice jusqu’à ce que cette ordonnance soit rendue et, si elle donne un effet suspensif à l’appel du ministère public, jusqu’à ce qu’il soit statué sur le fond.
