Article 112

De l'instruction préparatoire

Criminal Procedure
Titre II: De la procédure criminelle (On Criminal Procedure)
Chapitre II: De l'instruction préparatoire (On the Preliminary Investigation)

Nul ne sera reconnu partie civile, si, par la plainte ou par acte subséquent, il ne l'a formellement déclaré, ou s'il n'a conclu, en dommages et intérêts, contre la partie prévenue.

Life lesson: You can't be treated as a civil party in a criminal case unless you formally declare it in writing or file a claim for damages against the accused — it's not automatic.
Notes: Partie civile constitution requirements: (1) formal declaration in plainte or acte subséquent, OR (2) conclusion en dommages et intérêts against prévenu. Explicit opt-in requirement. No implied or constructive partie civile status. Ensures procedural clarity on private party participation.
