Paragraph 2: Special provisions.

All applications made pursuant to Article 1373 between the same parties, whether made by the plaintiff or the defendant, shall constitute a single proceeding. Any separate application is inadmissible unless the basis of the claims arose or was revealed only after the report was drawn up by the assigned judge.

The court rules on the points of disagreement. It homologates the liquidation statement or refers the parties to the notary to draw up the deed recording the division. In the event of homologation, it orders, if necessary, the drawing of lots by the same decision, either before the assigned judge or before the assigned notary.

When the drawing of lots has been ordered, if an heir fails to appear, the judge assigned shall have the powers granted to the president of the judicial court in the second paragraph of Article 1363.
