The normal outcome of a Court case is the delivery of a judgment after the written and oral procedure.

More about Court System Outcome

In particular situations, the outcome may however take the form of an “order” (“ordonnance”), adopted without an oral procedure. There are a variety of possible orders that put an end to a case, such as: orders by which the Court finds that the action is inadmissible; orders by which the Court takes note of the withdrawal of the proceedings; orders by which the Court finds that there is no longer any reason to decide on the substance of the case, etc. Note that the Court may also adopt different sorts of orders during the lifetime of the case by which the Court decides on incidental issues (such orders do not put an end to the case): orders by which the Court accepts the intervention of a third party; orders dealing with confidentiality issues; orders deciding on an interim measure request, etc.
