Paragraph 2: Direct execution of letters rogatory issued under Chapter I of the Hague Convention of 18 March 1970 on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters

If so requested in the letter rogatory, and provided that the investigative measure prescribes that a hearing be conducted exclusively, the Ministry of Justice may authorise its direct execution by the foreign court, in particular by videoconference, without constraint or possible sanction. .

If the foreign court’s request is granted, the Ministry of Justice shall indicate the conditions under which the investigative measure is to be carried out and, where appropriate, designate the competent judicial court responsible for assisting the foreign court in carrying out the investigative measure.
