The accused and the prosecution may appeal against the orders provided for in the first paragraph of Article 179 where they consider that the acts referred to the criminal court constitute a crime that should have been the subject of an indictment order before the assize court or the departmental criminal court.
Where the information has been co-investigated, they may also, in the absence of co-signature by the co-investigating judges in accordance with Article 83-2, appeal against these orders.
Except in the cases provided for in this article, an appeal lodged by the accused or the civil party against an order for referral to the criminal court shall be inadmissible and shall give rise to an order for the appeal not to be admitted by the president of the investigating chamber in accordance with the last paragraph of article 186. The same applies if it is alleged that the settlement order also rules on an application made before the notice provided for in Article 175 but which has not been answered, or on a request made pursuant to 2° of IV of the same Article 175, although this request was inadmissible or the President considers that there is no reason to refer the matter to the Examining Chamber in accordance with Article 186-1.
