Article 4 of the French Code of civil procedure

The subject matter of the dispute is determined by the respective claims of the parties.

These claims are set out in the document instituting the proceedings and in the pleadings in defence. However, the subject matter of the dispute may be modified by incidental claims where these are linked to the original claims by a sufficient connection.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 4

L’objet du litige est déterminé par les prétentions respectives des parties.

Ces prétentions sont fixées par l’acte introductif d’instance et par les conclusions en défense. Toutefois l’objet du litige peut être modifié par des demandes incidentes lorsque celles-ci se rattachent aux prétentions originaires par un lien suffisant.
