According to Articles 63 and 63-1 of the Code

This decision provides important insight into your property law. Here is what it changes for you.

The situation

Under Articles 63 and 63-1 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, a person who, for the needs of the investigation, is placed under constraint at the disposal of a judicial police officer must immediately be taken into police custody and notified of the rights attached to that measure. The judgment declaring the police custody regular is liable to be quashed where no element of the procedure establishes an insurmountable circumstance justifying the delay in notifying the person, who had been placed under constraint at the disposal of the gendarmes, judicial police officers, for several hours, of their placement in police custody and of the rights attached to that measure.
