An appeals court in the northern French town of Douai decides on Wednesday whether to agree to Mr Strauss-Kahn's demand to annul the charges linking him to a suspected prostitution ring run out of a luxury hotel in Lille.
Two of the four people implicated have asked that charges be dropped.
Lawyers for Mr Strauss-Kahn, 63, claim the investigating judges have not been impartial.
