CHAPTER-I : FRENCH ADMINISTRATIVE TRIBUNAL

If problem-solving justice has only a limited approach in French administrative justice and was probably not intended to replace the traditional approach to the trial based on judicial review in respect of the administrative law by citizens and public administrations, certain elements may be nevertheless observed as characteristics of problem-solving justice: the French administrative judge may be a member of a committee set up to deal with problems that involve an administration and citizens, she/he can proceed to conciliation within the court, she/he has tools for solving problems and users can ask her/him to solve a problem. These elements are becoming increasingly important: although the presence of administrative judges in administrative committees is old, it has developed particularly in recent years. The procedural tools are more recent and reflect the willingness of both the legislator and the Council of State to resolve the problem beyond the settlement of the administrative dispute.
