A decision ordering or modifying an investigative measure is not subject to opposition; it may be appealed or appealed to the Supreme Court independently of the judgment on the merits only in the cases specified by law. The same applies to a decision refusing to order or modify a measure.

The judge may travel outside his jurisdiction to carry out an investigative measure or to monitor its execution.
Where the remoteness of the parties or the persons who must assist with the measure, or the remoteness of the premises, makes travel too difficult or too expensive, the judge may instruct another court of equal or lower jurisdiction to carry out all or part of the operations ordered. The decision is transmitted with all relevant documents by the registry of the instructing court to the court instructed. As soon…
If several investigative measures have been ordered, they shall be carried out simultaneously whenever possible.
