Autonomic Nullity-Appeal in French Law

One of the most important concerns over judicial systems around the world is guaranteeing the conformity of definitive judgments with law and legal principles. In French law, despite the fact that the appeal in Cassation Court (pourvoi en cassation) is widely accepted, the jurisprudence does not stop in this phase; in all cases where ordinary or extra-ordinary ways of appeal are abolished by the law, in cases of the ultra virus actions of the judicial authorities, the parties could resort to autonomic appeal. This appeal is created by the French jurisprudence. Taking into account the restricted domain of appeal in the Supreme Court in Iranian Law, especially in civil matters, it is necessary to consider the mechanism of other legal systems in respect of controlling the correspondence of definitive judgments with law and legal principles. For there reasons, the domain and conditions of autonomic nullity-appeal in French Law have been studied in this Article.
