Resistance

You were not aware that you had to answer to the court. There was a force majeure situation that kept you absent from the hearing. You were convicted in absentia. It is possible to lodge an objection within a period of fifteen days from the service of the judgment, or fifteen days from the knowledge of the judgment. The opposition must be filed by a judicial officer. If the opposition is filed in time and declared admissible, the case will be resumed.

If the opposition is timely filed and declared admissible, the case will be resumed. Your case will be heard in your presence this time. This will give you the opportunity to defend yourself, present legal arguments, explain your personal situation. You cannot be sentenced to a heavier sentence on opposition. Be sure to contact us to find out if you can appeal. If opposition is not possible, you may still be able to appeal.
