Article 125 of the French Code of civil procedure

A plea of inadmissibility must be raised of the court’s own motion where it is a matter of public policy, in particular where it arises from failure to comply with the time limits within which appeals must be lodged or from failure to open an appeal.

The court may raise of its own motion a plea of inadmissibility based on lack of interest, lack of standing or res judicata.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 125

Les fins de non-recevoir doivent être relevées d’office lorsqu’elles ont un caractère d’ordre public, notamment lorsqu’elles résultent de l’inobservation des délais dans lesquels doivent être exercées les voies de recours ou de l’absence d’ouverture d’une voie de recours.

Le juge peut relever d’office la fin de non-recevoir tirée du défaut d’intérêt, du défaut de qualité ou de la chose jugée.
