Prosecutor General v. Former Prefect (Jurisdiction for Offenses by Honorary Official)
France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Prosecutor General sought to designate the competent jurisdiction for the instruction and judgment of a case against a former prefect, who had since been granted honorary status, concerning infractions related to bankruptcy laws and public limited company legislation. The Court rejected the request, reasoning that the list of officials specified in Article 679 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which dictates jurisdiction for certain offenses committed by magistrates and specific civil servants, is exhaustive; since the individual in question was an honorary prefect not currently exercising official functions in that capacity, the specialized jurisdictional rule provided by that article was inapplicable to him.
