783. A judgment granting an application for authorization with respect to the integrity of a person does not take effect until five days have elapsed since it was rendered, unless a statement by that person or his attorney indicating that no appeal will be brought has been filed.
However, a judgment ordering the confinement of a person for the purpose of psychiatric examination or following the filing of a psychiatric examination report may be enforced immediately. A judge of the Court of Appeal may suspend execution of the judgment if he considers it necessary in the interest of justice.
