249. An attorney who wishes to cease representing a party must, if the date of the hearing has yet to be determined, notify a declaration to the party concerned and to the opposite party and file a copy at the office of the court. The parties each have 10 days to express their opposition in writing, notify it to the other parties and file a copy at the office of the court.
If no opposition is filed, the declaration is accepted and the party is deemed from that moment to be no longer represented. If an opposition is filed, the attorney applies to the court.
If the date of the hearing has been determined, an attorney may not cease to represent a party without leave of the court.
