The application shall be lodged at the court registry by the lawyer of the earliest party. On pain of inadmissibility, it shall be presented within three months of the end of the participatory procedure agreement.

In addition to the particulars prescribed, on pain of nullity, by Article 58, the application shall contain a statement of the grounds of fact and law and shall be accompanied by the list of documents referred to in the third paragraph of article 1560.

The lawyer who files the document informs the opposing party himself and the lawyer who assisted him during the contractual procedure, as the case may be, by notification or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt.

Before the judicial court, the filing of this document at the clerk’s office contains the lawyer’s constitution.
