Abstract
The courthouses are, in our states, the places of legal reading - a culture constantly policed and hardened by jurisprudence and praetorian practices; themselves difficult to abandon notwithstanding the pressure and scope of new laws didn’t stop swelling. Indeed, legal practitioners are still unable to agree on the foundations, perception, conceptualization and implementation procedure of this important judicial institution. Certainly, the fog that hung over the identification of the « article 49 judge » in the Congolese judicial system is now lifted. However, this is not the case for appeals against decisions of the presidential court which, in principle, are provisionally enforceable and sometimes, on the spot. In addition, differences of opinion subsist as to the form of the act carrying the defense to be executed. So many problematic questions around which this reflection is articulated; but in a fairly limited format given the presentation requirements of a scientific article.

Abstract: (french)
Les palais de justice sont, dans nos Etats, les hauts lieux de la culture juridique – culture sans cesse policée et durcie par la jurisprudence et les pratiques prétoriennes; elles-mêmes difficiles à abandonner nonobstant la pression et la portée des lois nouvelles. Depuis l’adhésion de la République démocratique du Congo à l’OHADA – et nonobstant la supralégalité du droit uniforme africain des affaires – la polémique sur les défenses à exécuter n’a pas cessé d’enfler. En effet, les praticiens du droit n’arrivent toujours pas à s’accorder sur les fondements, la perception, la conceptualisation et la procédure de mise en œuvre de cette importante institution judiciaire. Certes, le brouillard qui planait sur l’identification du « Juge de l’article 49 » dans le système judiciaire congolais est aujourd’hui levé. Il n’en est pas cependant le cas des régimes d’appel contre les décisions de la juridiction présidentielle qui, par principe, sont exécutoires par provision et, parfois, sur minute. Par ailleurs, des divergences de vues subsistent quant à la forme de l’acte emportant la défense à exécuter. Autant des questions problématiques autour desquelles s’articule cette réflexion; mais dans un format assez limité compte tenu des exigences de présentation d’un article scientifique.
Author Keywords: matière d’urgence, clauses exécutoires, supralégalité, juridiction d’appel, recevabilité.
