While judgments must, on pain of nullity, set out the particulars required by Article 102 of the Decree of 20 July 1972 – which became Article 455 of the new Code of Civil Procedure – no statutory text determines the form in which those particulars must be given; it is sufficient that they appear in the various parts of the decision.
