Time limits
Immediate check of the deadline to file opposition.
Review of the dismissal notice, opposition time limits, investigative gaps and concrete further investigative steps to be requested.
The first step is checking receipt date, applicable time limit, proceeding, victim, alleged offences and reasons for the dismissal request.
The request is then compared with the complaint, attachments, supplements and available documents to identify concrete issues.
No standard formula: every step depends on procedural position and available material.
Immediate check of the deadline to file opposition.
Identification of missing or incomplete investigative activities.
Drafting of a concrete, selective and document-based opposition.
The opposition must state which activities are requested and why they may affect the decision. It is not enough to say that the investigation is incomplete.
The defence distinguishes investigative gaps, assessment errors and possible documentary or witness evidence.
Every choice is assessed on the actual file: timing, evidence, procedural risk and human impact of the proceedings.
Identification of truly decisive points without dispersing defence work into marginal issues.
Assessment of statements, submissions, productions, applications and remedies according to the procedural stage.
Criminal proceedings may feel like a first conviction before judgment. Defence work must take this into account with rigour and clarity.
Disagreement alone is not enough. Specific and relevant investigative activities must be indicated.
It depends on the notice received and the type of proceeding. The deadline must be checked immediately on the document.
Where available, documents can be decisive in making the opposition more concrete and verifiable.
A useful assessment requires the actual document: notice, order, report, complaint, judgment or document received.
