Pascal JAN - The constitutional Council

Pouvoirs n°99 - La nouvelle Ve République - novembre 2001 - p.71-86

The growing role of the constitutional judge since the 1970s has greatly contributed to the protection of fundamental rights and freedoms. However, the diversity of his attributions and the limits stemming from the form of his intervention hamper him and check the development of his jurisprudence. Any reform of his office and of the procedures followed before him will be conditioned by a redefinition of his competence focused on the control of norms. Résumé
