Appeal by Civil Party Regarding Criminal Judgment Redress
France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAAn appellant, who was the director of a company convicted under labor law, appealed only the civil reparations portion of a prior judgment, resulting in the extinguishment of the public criminal action before the Court of Appeal, meaning the appellant appeared solely in the capacity of an appealing civil party rather than a defendant in the criminal matter. The Court rejected the sole ground for cassation, which alleged a violation of the relevant Code of Criminal Procedure provision because the appellant's counsel did not speak last, reasoning that since the criminal action was definitively settled, the court complied with the relevant procedural article by allowing the counsel for the appealing civil party to speak first.
