The court shall appoint a judicial representative or a person chosen on the basis of the first paragraph of II of article L. 812-2 or on the basis of III of the same article.
The court-appointed agent or the person chosen on the basis of the first paragraph of II of Article L. 812-2 or on the basis of III of the same article must make known without delay any factor that could justify his replacement. The court may either of its own motion, or on the proposal of the judge assigned or at the request of the public prosecutor, proceed with his replacement.
