The public prosecutor or examining magistrate, seised of acts committed voluntarily against a minor, appoints an ad hoc administrator when the minor’s interests are not fully protected by his or her legal representatives or by one of them. The ad hoc administrator ensures the protection of the minor’s interests and, if necessary, exercises the rights of a civil party on the minor’s behalf. If a civil party is formed, the judge shall have a lawyer appointed ex officio for the minor if one has not already been chosen.
The foregoing provisions shall apply before the trial court.
