Christian BIGAUT, Bernard CHANTEBOUT - The So-called Irresponsibility of Ministers under the Fifth Republic

Pouvoirs n°92 - La responsabilité des gouvernants - janvier 2000 - p.77-90

Contrary to a commonly held idea ministers are more responsible today than at any time in the past. They are politically responsible because the sanction of errors hits individually, and sometimes severely, those who have committed them. They have been responsible before the law since the creation of the Court of Justice of the Republic in 1993 and the change of mind of the final Court of Appeal in 1995. They are also financially responsible as illustrated by the Nucci case. Résumé
