When the verification of handwriting is requested as a principal claim, the judge shall hold the writing to be recognised if the defendant summoned in person does not appear.
If the defendant acknowledges the handwriting, the judge acknowledges it to the plaintiff.
If the defendant denies or ignores the writing, the procedure shall be as set out in Articles 287 to 295. The same applies where the defendant who has not been summoned in person fails to appear.
