Article 857 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The time limit for lodging an objection to a judgment handed down by the Cour de cassation provided for in Article 579 is extended to one month if the party lodging the opposition resides outside the island where the court that handed down the contested decision has its seat.

In the latter case, the opposition may also be made in the forms provided for in article 856.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 857

Le délai d’opposition à l’arrêt rendu par la Cour de cassation prévu à l’article 579 est porté à un mois si la partie qui forme opposition réside hors de l’île où la juridiction qui a rendu la décision attaquée a son siège.

Dans ce dernier cas, l’opposition peut être également faite dans les formes prévues à l’article 856.
