Proposition de loi permettant la réélection des juges consulaires dans les tribunaux de commerce

This is an ordinary bill (proposition de loi) tabled in the French National Assembly during the 15th legislature. Its title indicates it would allow judges sitting in France's commercial courts (tribunaux de commerce) to be re-elected, so that a judge could serve further terms rather than being limited to a single mandate. Commercial court judges, known as juges consulaires, are lay judges elected by business people to hear disputes between companies and other commercial matters. The change would mainly affect consular judges, the business community that elects them, and parties who bring disputes before commercial courts. The metadata does not give details of the mandate rules being amended, so the precise scope of the change cannot be confirmed from this summary alone.
