When one of the divisions of an industrial tribunal cannot be constituted or cannot function, the first president of the court of appeal, at the request of the public prosecutor, appoints the corresponding division of another industrial tribunal or, failing this, one or more judges mentioned in article L. 1454-2, to hear the cases on the roll of the division or which should subsequently have been referred to it.
It sets the date from which the cases are provisionally submitted to this section or to these judges.
When the section of the industrial tribunal is once again able to function, the first president of the court of appeal, seised under the same conditions, notes this state of affairs and sets the date from which the cases are once again brought before this section. However, the section of the industrial tribunal or the judges referred to in the first paragraph appointed by the first president shall continue to hear the cases referred to them pursuant to the first paragraph.
