A cross-appeal may be lodged even if its author is precluded from lodging a main appeal. However, in the latter case, the cross-appeal will not be admissible if it is lodged more than one month after receipt of the registered letter from the person lodging the main appeal, as provided for in the first paragraph of article R. 331-47, or if the main appeal is not itself admissible.
The cross-appeal is lodged in accordance with the procedures provided for in article R. 331-46. It is denounced, under the conditions provided for in the first paragraph of Article R. 331-47, to the author of the main appeal.
