Article 670 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The First President shall notify the President of the court to which the disqualified judge belongs of the application he has received in administrative form.

The application for disqualification shall not relieve the judge whose disqualification is proposed. However, the First President may, after obtaining the opinion of the Public Prosecutor, order that either the continuation of the investigation or the hearings or the delivery of the judgment be suspended.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 670

Le premier président notifie en la forme administrative la requête dont il a été saisi au président de la juridiction à laquelle appartient le magistrat récusé.

La requête en récusation ne dessaisit pas le magistrat dont la récusation est proposée. Toutefois, le premier président peut, après avis du procureur général, ordonner qu’il sera sursis soit à la continuation de l’information ou des débats, soit au prononcé du jugement.
