Decisions at first instance are provisionally enforceable by operation of law unless the law or the decision rendered provides otherwise.
The judge may set aside provisional enforcement in whole or in part if he considers that it is incompatible with the nature of the case.

When a case is referred to it pursuant to articles 514-3 and 514-4, the First President shall rule in summary proceedings, in a decision that is not subject to appeal.
Where the law provides that provisional enforcement is optional, it may be ordered, of its own motion or at the request of a party, whenever the judge considers it necessary and compatible with the nature of the case. It may be ordered for all or part of the decision.
Provisional enforcement may only be ordered by the decision which it is intended to render enforceable, subject to the provisions of Articles 517-2 and 517-3.
Provisional enforcement may be subject to the provision of a guarantee, real or personal, sufficient to meet any restitution or reparation.
