Question juridique clé
Whether the defendant's silence at the first-instance hearing was compatible with a valid simplified-procedure judgment
Solution extraite
No. The acknowledgment of the facts at the hearing must renew the earlier confession; mere silence prevents the court from verifying the statutory requirements.
Motifs extraits
The simplified procedure is exceptional and the court must personally verify the defendant's acknowledgment and its consistency with the file. Silence means the court cannot perform that review, so the file must be sent back for ordinary proceedings.
