Wind turbines, travel plan… in Toulouse, the new administrative court of appeal to prison is taking off
Created on January 1, 2022, the Administrative Court of Appeal of Toulouse, the last born in France, has found its cruising speed.
For two days, yesterday and today, the vice-president of the Council of State, Didier-Roland Tabuteau, visited the fifty magistrates and the hundred registry officers who work at the administrative court of appeal and at the Administrative Court of Toulouse. Administrative justice, a “collegial, independent and local” justice, is highlighted here during a press briefing.
Ten months after the creation of the Court of Appeal, the latest in France, the visit is also an opportunity to take stock of a court which, having gone from two to four chambers, has found “its rhythm cruising”, says Jean-François Moutte, the president of the court. Responsible, in the first instance, for litigation on wind turbines, the court has judged about twenty cases of this type out of the sixty in progress. Environmental and urban planning files thus form the bulk of the business, behind the litigation of foreigners. After the cancellation of the Toulouse Urban Travel Plan at first instance, the court plans to schedule this case “early 2023”.
On the administrative court side, Isabelle Carthé-Mazères, its president, sees the number of cases increase year after year. Local urban plan, 3rd metro line, Tour Occitanie… the jurisdiction will have ruled on all the major Toulouse files but also, with the scaring of the bear in Ariège for example, on emblematic files in the rural departments.
