\n N\u00b0 P.25.1728.F
\n R. C.,
\n pr\u00e9venu,
\n demandeur en cassation,
\n ayant pour conseil Ma\u00eetre Harold Sax, avocat au barreau de Bruxelles.
\n I.\tLA PROC\u00c9DURE DEVANT LA COUR
\n \tLe pourvoi est dirig\u00e9 contre un jugement rendu le 27 novembre 2025 par le tribunal correctionnel francophone de Bruxelles, statuant en degr\u00e9 d\u2019appel.
\n \tLe demandeur invoque un moyen dans un m\u00e9moire annex\u00e9 au pr\u00e9sent arr\u00eat, en copie certifi\u00e9e conforme.
\n \tLe conseiller Fran\u00e7oise Roggen a fait rapport.
\n \tL\u2019avocat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral Damien Vandermeersch a conclu.
\n II.\tLES FAITS
\n \tLe tribunal de police francophone de Bruxelles a condamn\u00e9 le demandeur par un jugement rendu contradictoirement le 29 janvier 2024.
\n \tLe conseil du demandeur en a relev\u00e9 appel le 29 f\u00e9vrier 2024.
\n \tLe jugement attaqu\u00e9 d\u00e9clare ce recours irrecevable parce que tardif, d\u00e8s lors qu\u2019il a \u00e9t\u00e9 form\u00e9 apr\u00e8s l\u2019expiration du d\u00e9lai de trente jours prescrit par l\u2019article 203, \u00a7 1er, du Code d\u2019instruction criminelle.
\n III.\tLA D\u00c9CISION DE LA COUR
\n \tLe moyen est pris de la violation des articles 6 de la Convention de sauvegarde des droits de l\u2019homme et des libert\u00e9s fondamentales, et 203 du Code d\u2019instruction criminelle.
\n \tDans la mesure o\u00f9 il se r\u00e9f\u00e8re \u00e0 l\u2019article 203 pr\u00e9cit\u00e9 sans indiquer en quoi le jugement m\u00e9conna\u00eet cette disposition, le moyen est irrecevable \u00e0 d\u00e9faut de pr\u00e9cision.
\n \tLe demandeur fait valoir que la d\u00e9ch\u00e9ance de son recours porte atteinte au droit d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 un tribunal, garanti par l\u2019article 6 de la Convention.
\n \tIl soutient que son pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent avocat ne l\u2019a pas averti de son erreur et ne lui a fourni aucune explication sur la raison pour laquelle il a form\u00e9 le recours apr\u00e8s l\u2019expiration du d\u00e9lai l\u00e9gal.
\n \tL\u2019erreur de l\u2019avocat mandataire n\u2019est pas, en r\u00e8gle, une cause de force majeure pour le mandant.
\n \tLa d\u00e9ch\u00e9ance de l\u2019appel interjet\u00e9 tardivement ne contrevient pas au droit d\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 un tribunal lorsque cette introduction tardive ne fait l\u2019objet d\u2019aucune explication permettant de lui attribuer une autre cause que la n\u00e9gligence ou l\u2019inattention de l\u2019avocat mandataire.
\n \tLe jugement rel\u00e8ve qu\u2019aucune pr\u00e9cision n\u2019est fournie \u00e0 cet \u00e9gard, alors que la cause est fix\u00e9e devant la juridiction du second degr\u00e9 depuis plus de vingt mois apr\u00e8s l\u2019appel tardif.
\n \tCette constatation n\u2019implique pas que, pour le tribunal, le demandeur et son nouveau conseil se soient trouv\u00e9s dans l\u2019impossibilit\u00e9 d\u2019assigner, au d\u00e9passement du d\u00e9lai, une raison susceptible de constituer la force majeure invoqu\u00e9e.
\n \tLa circonstance que l\u2019avocat d\u00e9faillant n\u2019a pas inform\u00e9 son mandant du fait qu\u2019il a relev\u00e9 appel hors d\u00e9lai, ne constitue pas \u00e0 elle seule une cause de force majeure permettant de relever l\u2019appelant de la d\u00e9ch\u00e9ance encourue.
\n \tLa d\u00e9cision des juges d\u2019appel ne viole d\u00e8s lors pas l\u2019article 6 de la Convention.
\n \tLe moyen ne peut \u00eatre accueilli.
\n \tEt les formalit\u00e9s substantielles ou prescrites \u00e0 peine de nullit\u00e9 ont \u00e9t\u00e9 observ\u00e9es et la d\u00e9cision est conforme \u00e0 la loi.
\n \tPAR CES MOTIFS,
\n \tLA COUR
\n Rejette le pourvoi ;
\n Condamne le demandeur aux frais.
\n Lesdits frais tax\u00e9s \u00e0 la somme de septante et un euros un centime dus.
\n Ainsi jug\u00e9 par la Cour de cassation, deuxi\u00e8me chambre, \u00e0 Bruxelles, o\u00f9 si\u00e9geaient Fran\u00e7oise Roggen, conseiller faisant fonction de pr\u00e9sident, Fran\u00e7ois St\u00e9venart Mee\u00fbs, Ignacio de la Serna et Sabrina No\u00ebl, conseillers, et le chevalier Jean de Codt, premier pr\u00e9sident honoraire, magistrat suppl\u00e9ant, et prononc\u00e9 en audience publique du vingt-deux avril deux mille vingt-six par Fran\u00e7oise Roggen, conseiller faisant fonction de pr\u00e9sident, en pr\u00e9sence de Damien Vandermeersch, avocat g\u00e9n\u00e9ral, avec l\u2019assistance de Sharon Volders, greffier.\n <\/p>\n
