Article R231 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The convicted party may appeal against the provision of the decision relating to the liquidation of costs.

This appeal is brought before the court of appeal in the event that the decision containing the liquidation can be undertaken by this route.

In the event that the decision containing the award of costs is not subject to appeal, the appeal shall be brought before the investigating chamber.

The appeal shall be lodged at the registry of the court that handed down the decision, in accordance with the rules and within the time limit that are, as the case may be, those for an appeal or an appeal in cassation.

The appeal in cassation shall be open in all cases.

Article R231

La partie condamnée peut former un recours contre la disposition de la décision relative à la liquidation des dépens.

Ce recours est porté devant la juridiction d’appel au cas où la décision qui contient la liquidation peut être entreprise par cette voie.

Dans le cas où la décision qui contient la liquidation des dépens n’est pas susceptible d’appel, le recours est porté devant la chambre de l’instruction.

Le recours est formé au greffe de la juridiction qui a rendu la décision, selon les règles et dans le délai qui sont, suivant le cas, ceux de l’appel ou du pourvoi en cassation.

Le pourvoi en cassation est ouvert dans tous les cas.
