Article 576 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The declaration of appeal must be made to the registrar of the court which handed down the contested decision.

It must be signed by the registrar and by the applicant for judicial review himself or by a lawyer before the court which gave the decision, or by a special proxy; in the latter case, the proxy shall be appended to the document drawn up by the registrar. If the declarant is unable to sign, the Registrar will make a note of this.

It is entered in a public register, for this purpose and any person has the right to have a copy issued.

Article 576

La déclaration de pourvoi doit être faite au greffier de la juridiction qui a rendu la décision attaquée.

Elle doit être signée par le greffier et par le demandeur en cassation lui-même ou par un avocat près la juridiction qui a statué, ou par un fondé de pouvoir spécial ; dans ce dernier cas, le pouvoir est annexé à l’acte dressé par le greffier. Si le déclarant ne peut signer, le greffier en fera mention.

Elle est inscrite sur un registre public, à ce destiné et toute personne a le droit de s’en faire délivrer une copie.
