Disputes relating to the conditions of appointment of legal or contractual trade union delegates fall within the sole jurisdiction of the courts. An appeal is only admissible if it is lodged within fifteen days of completion of the formalities provided for in the first paragraph of article L. 2143-7.
Once this period has elapsed, the appointment is cleared of all defects, without the employer being able to subsequently raise an irregularity to deprive the appointed representative of the benefit of the provisions of this chapter.
When a dispute makes it essential to have recourse to an investigative measure, the expenses relating to this measure are borne by the State.
