Article 1568 of the French Code of civil procedure

Where the agreement reached by the parties to a mediation, conciliation or participatory procedure takes the form of a deed countersigned by the lawyers of each of the parties, this deed may, at the request of a party, be given the formule exécutoire.

The application shall be made in writing, in duplicate, to the registry of the court of the applicant’s domicile that has material jurisdiction to hear the dispute in the matter to which the agreement relates.

The registrar shall affix the enforcement formula only after verifying his jurisdiction and the nature of the act.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 1568

Lorsque l’accord auquel sont parvenues les parties à une médiation, une conciliation ou une procédure participative prend la forme d’un acte contresigné par les avocats de chacune des parties, cet acte peut être revêtu, à la demande d’une partie, de la formule exécutoire.

La demande est formée par écrit, en double exemplaire, auprès du greffe de la juridiction du domicile du demandeur matériellement compétente pour connaître du contentieux de la matière dont relève l’accord.

Le greffier n’appose la formule exécutoire qu’après avoir vérifié sa compétence et la nature de l’acte.
