863.8. Where observations or representations made constitute actual contestation of the merits of the application examined by a notary, the notary must relinquish the matter and inform the interested persons; in such a case, the notary draws up the minutes of the operations that have taken place and transfers the matter to the competent court, which is seized of the matter upon the deposit of the notary’s minutes.

The court may, if it considers it expedient, assign to the notary the mission of taking all evidence necessary for the pursuit of the matter, and fix the time within which the notary must report on the notarial operations to enable the court to make its own assessment of the facts.
