Article 627-7

(Inserted by Law no. 2002-268 of 26 February 2002 art. 1 Official Journal of 27 February 2002)

The hearing takes place and the judgment is given in open court, unless a public presence would be harmful to the course of the proceedings, the interests of a third party or to human dignity. In these cases the investigating chamber rules by an order made in chambers, on its own motion or at the request of the public prosecutor or the wanted person. This judgment is only open to appeal at the same time as the decree concerning the transfer provided for in article 627-8.
The public prosecutor and the wanted person are heard, the latter assisted by his advocate if there is one and, if necessary, an interpreter.
