29 AVRIL 2013. - Act respecting the private act against lawyers of the parties (1)



ALBERT II, King of the Belgians,
To all, present and to come, Hi.
The Chambers adopted and We sanction the following:
Article 1er. This Act regulates a matter referred to in Article 78 of the Constitution.
Art. 2. The act under private seing that is contravened by lawyers in accordance with the provisions of this Act is in full faith in the writing and signature of the parties to the act both in respect of them and in respect of their heirs or cause.
The act is countersigned by lawyers from all parties, each party having a separate interest to be assisted by a different lawyer.
The procedure for false civil is, if applicable, applicable to that act.
Art. 3. By counterseing, the lawyer certifies that he has fully informed the party(s) that he advises on the legal consequences of this act.
It is mentioned in the act.
Art. 4. The act under private seing that is contravened by the lawyers of all parties is, unless expressly derogated from this section, exempted from any manuscript mention required by law.
Unless the act against lawyers of all parties is filed with an electronic signature within the meaning of Article 4, § 4, of the Act of 9 July 2001 establishing certain rules relating to the legal framework for electronic signatures and certification services, it is established at least in as many of the originals as there are parties with a separate interest and signed lawyers.
Each original contains the number of originals that were made.
The failure to mention the number of originals cannot be opposed by the one who has carried out his commitments in the act.
Promulgation of this law, let us order that it be clothed with the seal of the State and published by the Belgian Monitor.
Given in Brussels on 29 April 2013.
ALBERT
By the King:
The Minister of Justice,
