The Autorité publishes its opinion on the draft decree on the code of professional conduct for lawyers to the French Administrative Supreme Court and French Supreme Court
The Autorité de la concurrence publishes its opinion of 10 February 2023 on the draft decree on the code of professional conduct for lawyers to the French Administrative Supreme Court (Conseil d'État) and French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation) (hereinafter "lawyers to the Courts")
After the Government sought its opinion, on 10 February 2023, the Autorité issued an opinion on the draft decree on the code of professional conduct for lawyers to the Courts, in which it proposed seven recommendations to the Government concerning certain rules of the code.
While the decree finally adopted on 1 March 2023 did not take into consideration all the recommendations aimed at clarifying the wording of certain articles of the code of professional conduct, the Autorité will be careful to ensure that they are taken into account in the drafting of the professional rules that will soon be adopted pursuant to Article 2 of Ordinance 2022-544 of 13 April 2022.
