Article 1230-1 of the French Code of civil procedure

The protected person is notified of the judgment ruling on an application to open a protective measure or ordering family habilitation of an adult; notice of this is given to the public prosecutor.

However, the judge may, by specially reasoned decision, decide that there is no need to notify the protected adult of the judgment ruling on the opening of the protective measure if this information is likely to be prejudicial to his or her health. In this case, notification shall be made to his lawyer, if he has constituted one, and to the person whom the judge deems most qualified to receive such notification.

The judgment may be notified, if the judge deems it useful, to the persons he designates from among those entitled by law to appeal.

Article 1230-1

Le jugement qui statue sur une demande d’ouverture d’une protection ou ordonnant l’habilitation familiale d’un majeur est notifié à la personne protégée elle-même ; avis en est donné au procureur de la République.

Toutefois, le juge peut, par décision spécialement motivée, décider qu’il n’y a pas lieu de notifier le jugement prononçant l’ouverture de la mesure de protection au majeur protégé si cette information est de nature à porter préjudice à sa santé. Dans ce cas, la notification en est faite à son avocat, s’il en a constitué un, ainsi qu’à la personne que le juge estime la plus qualifiée pour recevoir cette notification.

Le jugement peut être notifié, si le juge l’estime utile, aux personnes qu’il désigne parmi celles que la loi habilite à exercer un recours.
