The Appropriation of the Priority Preliminary Ruling on the Issue of Constitutionality by its Actors
Pouvoirs n°137 - La question prioritaire de constitutionnalité - avril 2011 - p.169-181
The control of constitutionality of an existing law has been described
as a true revolution with regard to the French judicial tradition. This
new right, which grants the litigant the possibility to challenge a law
through a trial, has received an enthusiastic welcome from its actors as
testified by the number of questions raised since the implementation of
this procedure and the number of annulments decreed, in particular in
some symbolic domains. Such a favorable reception is due to the efficiency
of the procedure, which has been perceived immediately thanks
to an unprecedented campaign of information by the Constitutional
Council, the Council of State and the Court of Cassation.
