Pierre Avril, Is the Institutional Case law of the French Conseil Constitutionnel Making Law ?
Examining the institutional case law of the French Conseil constitutionnel reveals that some court orders do not limit themselves to implementing the rules set by the Constitution with a view to its actual application, but that they sometimes challenge these rules, either explicitly by imposing additional requirements, or implicitly through the consequences stemming from them. Exceptional, these court orders are in fact true redraftings, but their range has been limited.
