  • Summary

    Like other French judicial proceedings, administrative court procedure is distinctive in being mainly written and judge-led with collegial decision-making. Fact-finding often relies on court-appointed experts. Within the hearing, the role of the rapporteur public is important in providing advice to the court independent of the parties. In recent years, this traditional procedure has come under scrutiny in the light of the notion of a fair trial within the European Convention on Human Rights, and changes have been made. In addition, there have been reforms to the enforcement of court decisions and the availability of interim measures. The significance of interim measures is illustrated by reference to the Covid-19 pandemic.
