Article R512-2 of the French Code of civil enforcement procedures

The application for release is made to the judge who authorised the measure. If the measure was taken without the prior authorisation of the court, the application is brought before the enforcement court of the place where the debtor resides. However, where the measure is based on a claim falling within the jurisdiction of a commercial court, the application for release may be brought, before any trial, before the President of the Commercial Court of the same place.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R512-2


La demande de mainlevée est portée devant le juge qui a autorisé la mesure. Si celle-ci a été prise sans autorisation préalable du juge, la demande est portée devant le juge de l’exécution du lieu où demeure le débiteur. Toutefois, lorsque la mesure est fondée sur une créance relevant de la compétence d’une juridiction commerciale, la demande de mainlevée peut être portée, avant tout procès, devant le président du tribunal de commerce de ce même lieu.
