The possibility of presenting

This decision sheds important light on your real estate law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

The possibility of presenting written observations appended to the proceedings, provided for by Article 63-4, paragraph 4, of the Code of Criminal Procedure, extends to the lawyer appointed by the President of the Bar who, following his interview with the person in police custody, has formed the belief that the latter's wish to speak with his own lawyer was not understood or respected. The criminal court may not annul the proceedings on the allegation of such a grievance solely on the production of a certificate transmitted late by the appointed lawyer to the chosen lawyer. (1).

Key points to remember
