Article 116

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)

Tous les frais de la procédure seront avancés par la partie civile, contre laquelle il pourra être décerné exécutoire.

Life lesson: The civil party must front all procedural costs, and the court can issue a payment order against them if they don't pay up.
Notes: Cost-advancement obligation on partie civile. Exécutoire enforcement mechanism for non-payment. Financial burden of private prosecution falls on complainant. Deters frivolous private criminal actions. Public prosecution (procureur du roi) presumably cost-free to complainant.
