Article 172 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

A party who has failed to comply with an essential procedural requirement may waive the requirement and thus regularise the procedure. This waiver must be express. It may only be given in the presence of the lawyer or the latter duly summoned.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 172

La partie envers laquelle une formalité substantielle a été méconnue peut renoncer à s’en prévaloir et régulariser ainsi la procédure. Cette renonciation doit être expresse. Elle ne peut être donnée qu’en présence de l’avocat ou ce dernier dûment appelé.
