Other areas of practice
Mélanie BAZILE also works in other fields of Public law:
-
Administrative liability:
A public entity can be held responsible if its activity causes damages.
An administration is liable if it commits a fault or even in some cases whithout any fault commited (breach of equality of citizens before public charges, lack of maintenance of public property...).
A victim can sue those public entities for compensation.
-
Acces to administrative documents:
Citizens have a right to access administrative documents that fulfill certain conditions (articles L. 300-1 and following of the relationship between the public and the administration Code (Code des relations entre le public et l'administration)).
Any citizen can request a public entity to be sent an administrative document. If the administration issues a refusal, the claimant can lodge an appeal to the Committee for Access to Administrative Documents (Commission d'Accès aux Documents Administratifs (CADA)).
To know if a document can be disclosed or not, the CADA has published a simulator on its website, accessible here.
-
The administrative contracts:
An administrative contract can be:
-
qualified as an administrative contract by the law (for example: public procurement contract),
-
or is signed by a public entity and has a « exorbitant clause » (clause exorbitante du Droit commun) (i.e. a clause that cannot be found in a contract signed between two individuals),
-
or relates to the performance of a public service.
-
Saisies Administratives à Tiers Détenteur (SATD):
If you are liable for a tax, or an invoice to an administration (State, City or a public institution...), it can seize a third-party holding money that belongs to you (most often your bank, your pension fund, your employer...).
We represent you mainly in front of the Administrative Tribunal of Toulon (Tribunal administratif de Toulon) and Marseille (Tribunal administratif de Marseille), and also in front of Administrative courts throughout France.
