Article R15-33-40-1 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Where there is no need to validate the penal composition proposal because it relates to an offence punishable by a prison sentence of up to three years and consists of a composition fine not exceeding three thousand euros or the divestment of an item whose value does not exceed this amount, the provisions of the two penultimate paragraphs of Article R. 15-33-40 are not applicable.

Article R15-33-40-1

Lorsqu’il n’y a pas lieu à validation de la proposition de composition pénale parce qu’elle porte sur un délit puni d’une peine d’emprisonnement d’une durée inférieure ou égale à trois ans et qu’elle consiste en une amende de composition n’excédant pas trois mille euros ou dans le dessaisissement d’une chose dont la valeur n’excède pas ce montant, les dispositions des deux avant-derniers alinéas de l’article R. 15-33-40 ne sont pas applicables.
