Article 79 of the French Code of civil procedure

Where the court does not rule on the substance of the dispute, but the determination of jurisdiction depends on a question of substance, the court must, in the operative part of the judgment, rule on that question of substance and on jurisdiction in separate provisions.

His decision has the force of res judicata on that question of substance.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 79

Lorsqu’il ne se prononce pas sur le fond du litige, mais que la détermination de la compétence dépend d’une question de fond, le juge doit, dans le dispositif du jugement, statuer sur cette question de fond et sur la compétence par des dispositions distinctes.

Sa décision a autorité de chose jugée sur cette question de fond.
