Article R*49-23 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Where a plea alleging that a legislative provision infringes the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution is submitted by the accused before the president of the investigating chamber hearing the case in accordance with the provisions of article 187-1 on the occasion of an appeal against an order for remand in custody, it shall be examined by this judge. However, the latter may refer the matter to the Examining Magistrate’s Chamber if the issue warrants it.

Article R*49-23
Lorsque le moyen tiré de ce qu’une disposition législative porte atteinte aux droits et libertés garantis par la Constitution est présenté par la personne mise en examen devant le président de la chambre de l’instruction saisi conformément aux dispositions de l’article 187-1 à l’occasion de l’appel d’une ordonnance de placement en détention provisoire, il est examiné par ce magistrat. Ce dernier peut toutefois renvoyer cet examen à la chambre de l’instruction lorsque la question le justifie.
