Article 735 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Where the trial court has not ruled on the revocation of the suspended sentence pursuant to Article 132-36 of the Penal Code because it was unaware of the first conviction, the public prosecutor may subsequently submit a reasoned application to the criminal court for its revocation.

The court will rule in open court, after hearing the person and, if applicable, their lawyer.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 735

Lorsque la juridiction de jugement n’a pas statué sur la révocation du sursis en application de l’article 132-36 du code pénal parce qu’elle n’avait pas connaissance de la première condamnation, le procureur de la République peut ultérieurement saisir le tribunal correctionnel d’une requête motivée tendant à sa révocation.

Le tribunal statue en audience publique, après audition de la personne et, s’il y a lieu, de son avocat.
