When a foreign minor who is not accompanied by a legal representative is not authorised to enter France, the public prosecutor, notified immediately by the administrative authority, appoints an ad hoc administrator without delay. The ad hoc administrator assists the minor while he or she is being held in the waiting area and represents him or her in administrative and legal proceedings relating to this holding.
The ad hoc administrator also represents the minor in all administrative and legal proceedings relating to his or her entry into France.
The ad hoc administrator is appointed by the competent public prosecutor from a list of legal entities or individuals whose constitution is determined by decree in the Conseil d’Etat. This decree also specifies the terms of their compensation.
