Article R*49-33 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The Cour de cassation is not obliged to refer to the Conseil constitutionnel a priority question of constitutionality challenging, on the same grounds, a legislative provision already before the Conseil constitutionnel. If no referral is made for this reason, it shall defer its decision until the Constitutional Council’s decision has been made.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R*49-33

La Cour de cassation n’est pas tenue de renvoyer au Conseil constitutionnel une question prioritaire de constitutionnalité mettant en cause, par les mêmes motifs, une disposition législative dont le Conseil constitutionnel est déjà saisi. En cas d’absence de transmission pour cette raison, elle diffère sa décision jusqu’à l’intervention de la décision du Conseil constitutionnel.
