Published on June 20, 2022 INFO83 received Mrs. Martine Doumergue, President of the Administrative Court of Toulon and Maître Sandie Castagnon, lawyer registered with the Toulon bar. The Administrative Courts were created to judge disputes between individuals and administrations. They judge in the first instance, that is to say, it is the first court seized of a case. Mrs. Doumergue, President of the Administrative Court of Toulon and her team rule on subjects as diverse as tax disputes, VAT, appeals against building permits, appeals on sanctions requested against civil service employees, refusals to obtain APL, RSA, etc. The individual comes forward mainly to obtain compensation. A judgment, before being pronounced, takes on average between a year and a year and a half. Maître Sandie Castagon, a lawyer registered with the Toulon bar, often sits at 5 rue Racine, a stone's throw from the Toulon Opera House. Even if it is not mandatory to be accompanied by a lawyer, it is strongly recommended to call upon the men and women of the art. Before taking legal action to contest an administrative decision, you can first try to find an amicable solution through mediation. Sometimes, mediation is even a mandatory prerequisite before exercising a contentious appeal. This is the case for certain civil service disputes and certain social disputes. If mediation is unsuccessful, the trial resumes its course. The mediator is there to restore the link between the parties. He is not a judge. Mediation shortens decision-making times. The mediator can be chosen by you or by the administration. He can also be appointed by the administrative court, with your agreement. A bit of history of the administrative court of Toulon: 39th court created by decree n°2008-819 of August 21, 2008, has jurisdiction to judge administrative appeals falling within the Var department, in order to facilitate administrative procedures for applicants from Var. Inaugurated on February 23, 2009, the court opened its doors on November 1, 2008. Urban planning, civil service and taxation are the main areas of litigation handled. The new jurisdiction, located at 5 rue Racine, near the Municipal Theater, is located in a former property of the Caisse d'Epargne whose buildings with facades are classified by the Buildings of France. The administrative court of Toulon is composed of 16 magistrates, including the presidents, divided into 4 chambers, 5 registries (including 1 emergency registry) of 20 agents and 5 legal assistants. To refer the matter to the administrative judge, you must act within the required time limits and file the appeal with the competent court. You are not required to hire a lawyer, unless the dispute concerns a sum of money or a contract concluded with an administration or public body. You must attach to your request the administrative decision that you are contesting, as well as all supporting documents.
