Article 698 of the French Code of civil procedure

Costs relating to unjustified instances, acts and enforcement procedures shall be borne by the court officers who made them, without prejudice to any damages that may be claimed. The same applies to costs relating to instances, acts and enforcement procedures that are null and void as a result of their fault.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 698

Les dépens afférents aux instances, actes et procédures d’exécution injustifiés sont à la charge des auxiliaires de justice qui les ont faits, sans préjudice des dommages-intérêts qui seraient réclamés. Il en est de même des dépens afférents aux instances, actes et procédures d’exécution nuls par l’effet de leur faute.
