FRENCH ADMINISTRATIVE JURISDICTION AND MEDIATION

Abstract

Mediation in administrative matters, which brings
interplay of public law relations, is therefore exercised in a
very different framework from mediation in civil matters
or commercial.
In matters of administrative litigation, the prerequisite
at trial is the rule. The prior administrative appeal is a first opportunity for the parties to
bring closer.
It even happens, very often, that institutional mediation is foreseen at this stage. So, for example,
in medical matters, the conciliation commissions
and compensation are responsible for facilitating the amicable settlement of disputes relating to medical accidents, iatrogenic diseases and nosocomial infections (art. L. 1114-4 s., L. 1142-1 s. of the code of
public health).
