Article 723-17 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

When a conviction mentioned in Article 723-15 has not been enforced within one year of the date on which the sentence became final, the sentenced person may apply to the sentence enforcement judge for one of the measures provided for in the first paragraph of Article 712-6, even if he or she has previously been refused, and this referral suspends the possibility for the public prosecutor to enforce the sentence subject to the provisions of article 723-16. The request is then decided in accordance with the provisions of article 712-6.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 723-17

Lorsqu’une condamnation mentionnée à l’article 723-15 n’a pas été mise à exécution dans le délai d’un an à compter de la date à laquelle la condamnation est devenue définitive, le condamné peut saisir le juge de l’application des peines en vue de faire l’objet d’une des mesures prévues par le premier alinéa de l’article 712-6, même s’il s’est vu opposer un refus antérieur, et cette saisine suspend la possibilité pour le parquet de mettre la peine à exécution sous réserve des dispositions de l’article 723-16. Il est alors statué sur la demande selon les dispositions de l’article 712-6.
