Paragraph 1: Execution of the international letter rogatory by the judicial court

If the letter rogatory has been transmitted irregularly, the judge assigned may of his own motion or at the request of the public prosecutor refuse to execute it; he may also, at the request of the public prosecutor, rescind the measures he has already taken and annul the acts recording the execution of the letter rogatory.

The decision by which the judge refuses to execute a letter rogatory, cancels the acts recording its execution, reports the measures he has taken or refuses to report them must state the reasons. The parties and the public prosecutor may appeal against the decision. The time limit for appeal is fifteen days; it is not increased on account of distances.

The documents recording the execution of the letter rogatory or the decision by which the judge refuses to execute it shall be transmitted to the issuing court by the same channels as those by which the letter rogatory was transmitted to the requested court. .
