In the case of a certified statement or memorandum, the stakeholder within one month of collection of the sum, or the assigning accountant, for the costs referred to in 2° and 3° of Articles R. 224-1 and R. 224-2, within one month of receipt of the request for payment, may submit a claim to the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the court whose clerk or designated official carried out the certification, who shall refer the matter to the competent taxing magistrate.
Where the costs fall under 2° of article R. 224-1 and that the requisition has been transmitted to the operator by the national platform for judicial interceptions, the complaint is sent to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Justice who asks the public prosecutor at the court that prescribed the measure to issue requisitions for tax purposes.
With regard to legal aid, the one-month time limit given to the assigning accountant runs from the time the brief or certified statement is sent to him by the competent authorising officer.
