Conor McAuley Aug 2, 2021:
Thanks Althea, I have amended my answer accordingly. Doors kind of wide open, after all!
Althea Draper Aug 2, 2021:
"Le principe de publicité de la justice est reconnu par l’article 6§1 de la Convention Européenne des Droits de l’Homme qui dispose que « Toute personne a droit à ce que sa cause soit entendue publiquement […]. Le jugement doit être rendu en audience publique […] », les exceptions prévues touchant au respect de la moralité, de l’ordre public ou de la sécurité nationale, à la protection des mineurs ou à la protection de la vie privée ou enfin en cas de risque d’atteinte aux intérêts de la justice (pour une liste des exceptions, voir à la fin de cette partie).

Ce caractère public est tellement essentiel qu’avant 2012, même en cas d’urgence (référé), si le juge statuait hors des locaux de la juridiction comme le permettait alors en matière civile l’article 485 alinéa 2 du Code de procédure civile (CPC), il devait le faire « à son domicile portes ouvertes »."

So, allowing public access to the proceedings in the Judge's house, but I don't know if there is a proper legal term for this in English.

I'm guessing it means public.

to which access shall be granted

Formal way of saying "portes ouvertes".

It's not open day at the judge's house, that's for sure!

to which access shall be granted TO THE PUBLIC

In light of Althea's Discussion entry.
Peer comment(s):

agree AllegroTrans : OK but query whether it's just the Judge's "front door" and not that to his hearing room which must be open to access (i.e. a considerable proportion of "référé" cases are chambers matters held in private, e.g. cases involving minors)

свободен достъп

Тъй като става дума за член от закон или разпоредба, ако не ви харесва буквалния превод, ви предлагам „свободен достъп“. Английският превод е „open doors“, т. е. буквален.
Example sentence:

Le Petit Robert : pp. 1485 - Régime de la porte ouverte, qui supprime les barrières douanières. Cour. C'est la porte ouverte à tous les abus. Laisser la porte ouverte à des négociations.

Note from asker:
I did change the language pair to FR to EN in order to receive more responses. Thank you Kiril for your kind response

disagree Lara Barnett : As AllegroTrans points out, the answer is requested in English, which is also the language combination for the final Kudoz Glossary entry.

This is Article 485 of the French Civil Procedure Code, verbatim.

The web-published unofficial English translation is of very dubitable quality, but for the record here it is:

Article 485
The request is brought by way of writ of summons at a hearing held for that purpose at the usual day and time for
summary procedure.
If, nevertheless, the case requires celerity, the summary procedure judge may allow summoning on the specified
time, even on holidays or non-working days, to appear either at a hearing or at his domicile whose doors will stay open.

La demande est portée par voie d'assignation à une audience tenue à cet effet aux jour et heure habituels des référés.

Si, néanmoins, le cas requiert célérité, le juge des référés peut permettre d'assigner, à heure indiquée, même les jours fériés ou chômés.

I don't think this is a great translation effort, thanks anyways!
