Article 2520 of the French Civil Code

If the registrar rejects the application for registration or considers that it cannot be acted upon, the registrar forwards it to the court.

The same applies if there are oppositions or applications for registration which have not been discharged in the authentic form or to which the applicant refuses to acquiesce.

The court may order the registration, in whole or in part, of immovables and the registration of real rights and charges whose existence it has recognised. It shall, if necessary, have the demarcation and the plan of the immovable rectified.

The registrar shall draw up the title deed in accordance with the decision of the court ordering registration, when it has become final, after any rectification of the demarcation and the plan of the immovable or completion of the prescribed formalities.

Article 2520

S’il rejette la requête d’immatriculation ou estime ne pas pouvoir y donner suite, le conservateur la transmet au tribunal.

Il en est de même s’il existe des oppositions ou des demandes d’inscription dont la mainlevée en la forme authentique n’a pas été donnée ou auxquelles le requérant refuse d’acquiescer.

Le tribunal peut ordonner l’immatriculation, totale ou partielle, des immeubles ainsi que l’inscription des droits réels et des charges dont il a reconnu l’existence. Il fait rectifier, s’il y a lieu, le bornage et le plan de l’immeuble.

Le conservateur établit le titre de propriété conformément à la décision du tribunal commandant l’immatriculation, lorsqu’elle est devenue définitive, après rectification éventuelle du bornage et du plan de l’immeuble ou exécution des formalités prescrites.
