Article 342 of the French Code of civil procedure

A party wishing to challenge a judge or request that the case be referred on grounds of legitimate suspicion to another court of the same nature must, on pain of inadmissibility, do so as soon as he is aware of the cause justifying the request.

In no case may the request be made after the close of the proceedings.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 342

La partie qui veut récuser un juge ou demander le renvoi pour cause de suspicion légitime devant une autre juridiction de même nature doit, à peine d’irrecevabilité, le faire dès qu’elle a connaissance de la cause justifiant la demande.

En aucun cas la demande ne peut être formée après la clôture des débats.
