Section III: The procedure for revoking a simple adoption

Within fifteen days of the date on which it becomes res judicata, at the request of the public prosecutor, the decision revoking the simple adoption is entered in the margin of the adopted person’s birth certificate. Where the adopted person was born abroad, the decision is transcribed onto the registers of the central civil status department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the request of the public prosecutor.

The appeal is lodged as in contentious matters. It is investigated and judged according to the rules applicable at first instance.
