Quick Summary

The Tribunal des Conflits is a French court that resolves jurisdictional disputes between administrative courts and ordinary courts. This court was established to uphold the principle of separation of powers, ensuring that administrative matters are handled by administrative bodies and judicial matters by the judiciary.1

The Tribunal des Conflits is composed of five judges from the Cour de Cassation (the highest civil court) and five judges from the Conseil d’État (the highest administrative court). The Minister of Justice may sometimes preside and cast a tie-breaking vote. This unique structure ensures a balance between the administrative and judicial branches of government in France.1
