Hello,
"vos réponses" ou "votre réponse (without s)" : the two forms are right.
Je ne suis fais pas reponds a vous ai pas répondu, par ce que je suis j'étais en vacances.
here is what they say in an official site of the government (justice website) :
La révision peut être demandée, quelle que soit la juridiction qui ait statué, au bénéfice de toute personne reconnue auteur d’un crime ou d’un délit par une décision définitive rendue en premier ou en dernier ressort.
And I try to translate (a summary translation) ;-)
For a criminal process
The revision can be opened when :
after a conviction for homicide, there are evidences that let us think that the victim is still alive.
or a witness, after the end of the trial, has been prosecuted and convicted for false witness against the convicted person;
Merci beaucoup Shantal, also for the correction of my French!
I am now beginning to understand when the 'procédure de révision' may be employed.
Hi,
a 'procédure de révision' is a new procedure aimed at cancelling a judgement concluding a previous procedure, while an 'appeal' is a recourse step of the same procedure as the one that led to the contested judgement.
You have to pass through the filter of the 'Commission de révision des condamnations pénales' which decides whether your 'demande de révision' is supported with evidences that would justify to cancel the judgement of a judged case.
Then your 'demande de revision' is passed onto the 'cours de révision' which may, taking into account the arguements of all the parties of the contested case and the new evidences, cancel the judgement.
The procedure is then reopenned unless it is 'technically' not possible.
Much obliged Nicolas,
I take it that the 'cours de révision' is a court with the same jurisdiction which the court a quo had, and not one with appellate jurisdiction?
