184. (1) If any difficulty shall arise in or about the filing of
any written pleading, the registrar shall inform the party concerned,
but he may not refuse to receive such pleading, except in the cases
in which he is expressly enjoined or authorized so to do under the
provisions of this Code. In the case of any such difficulty, he shall,
as soon as possible, make a report thereof to the court, which shall
give the necessary directions for his guidance. He shall, however,
refuse to receive any written pleading which is in open violation of
the provisions of articles 174, 176 and 178.
(2) In all cases, the registrar shall, upon a request to that effect,
state in writing the reason for his refusal.
