Entry into force: the text comes into force on the day after its publication, except articles 1 to 6, 10 to 14, 15 and 17 which come into force on 1 January 2013.
Notice: the Act No. 2011-1862 of 13 December 2011 relating to the distribution of litigation and the relief of certain jurisdictional proceedings has extended to the High Court the procedure for injunction to pay that exists before the Court of Instance, the Court of Community and the President of the Commercial Court. The decree adopts the necessary regulatory measures to implement this extension.
The Act of 13 December 2011 also transferred all customs litigation to the High Court and carried out various litigation groups. The decree proceeds with the necessary modifications and coordination of the code of the judicial organization.
It also introduces the possibility of establishing the judgment electronically and in this case provides for its signature through a secure electronic process. It is referred to a ministerial order to determine the terms and conditions of application of this device.
The terms and conditions of communication to the Public Prosecutor's Office for review are amended. It is now anticipated that, when the appeal for review is filed by summons, this communication is carried out not by the judge, but by the applicant, who will have to denounce this summons to the Public Prosecutor's Office, just as unreceivable.
