The person to whom a penal composition is proposed may ask to be given a period of ten days before making known his decision after having, if necessary, been assisted by a lawyer. If they request this period, they are informed of the date and time when they are invited to reappear to make their response known. They will be informed that if they do not appear, they will be deemed to have refused the settlement.
