Unless the provisions of article R. 4234-3 are applied, the complaint or application and the attached documents are communicated in their entirety to the parties in copy form. Where the volume, number or characteristics of the documents produced make it impossible to produce copies, the parties are invited to consult them at the court registry.
The communication invites the parties to produce a statement of case and all relevant documents in the required number of copies and within the time limit set by the chairman of the disciplinary chamber. This time limit may not be less than one month from receipt of the notification of the complaint or application.
The defendant’s first statement of case and the attachments shall be communicated to the parties under the conditions laid down by the provisions of articles R. 611-3 and R. 611-5 of the Code of Administrative Justice. Replies, other pleadings and exhibits are communicated if they contain new information.
When one of the parties called upon to produce a pleading has not complied with the time limit set for it, the president of the bench may send it formal notice.
