On receipt of a request for rectification or deletion, the territorially competent public prosecutor or the magistrate referred to in Article 230-9 shall inform the interested party of his decision by registered letter.
If the Public Prosecutor with territorial jurisdiction or the magistrate referred to in Article 230-9 does not order the deletion or rectification, the interested party may, pursuant to the third paragraph of Article 230-8 and the fourth paragraph of Article 230-9, refer the matter to the President of the Investigating Chamber or the President of the Investigating Chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal respectively, within one month of the date of dispatch of the refusal decision, by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt or by declaration to the registry of the Investigating Chamber. On pain of inadmissibility, reasons must be given for the challenge.
If the Public Prosecutor with territorial jurisdiction or the magistrate referred to in article 230-9 does not take a decision within two months, the interested party may, within one month, refer the implied rejection to the President of the Investigating Chamber or the President of the Investigating Chamber of the Paris Court of Appeal respectively, pursuant to article 802-1 du présent code. The public prosecutor with territorial jurisdiction or the magistrate referred to in article 230-9 shall be informed without delay and by any means of the exercise of this right of appeal. This appeal lapses if the territorially competent public prosecutor or the magistrate referred to in Article 230-9 grants the interested party’s request.
The President of the Examining Magistrate’s Chamber shall rule, after having sought the written submissions of the Public Prosecutor, by means of a reasoned order, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of the registered letter or statement at the court registry by the applicant. This order is brought to the attention of the Public Prosecutor with territorial jurisdiction or the magistrate mentioned in article 230-9 and notified to the interested party by registered letter. It may only be appealed to the Court of Cassation if it does not satisfy, in form, the essential conditions for its legal existence.
