Article R1454-31 of the French Labour Code

Regardless of the number of councillors present, and even in the absence of any councillors, if the panel is not fully constituted at the tie-breaking hearing, the tie-breaking judge will rule alone at the end of the debates. He shall first obtain the opinion of the councillors present.

At the end of the hearing and if the decision is not handed down immediately, the deciding judge informs the parties of the date on which the judgment will be handed down, where applicable by making it available at the court registry.

If the president decides to postpone the delivery of the judgment to a later date, he will notify the parties by any means. This notice shall include the reasons for the postponement and the new date on which the judgment will be delivered.

Article R1454-31

Quel que soit le nombre des conseillers prud’hommes présents et même en l’absence de tout conseiller prud’homme, lorsque lors de l’audience de départage la formation n’est pas réunie au complet, le juge départiteur statue seul à l’issue des débats. Il recueille préalablement l’avis des conseillers présents.

A l’issue des débats et si la décision n’est pas immédiatement rendue, le juge départiteur indique aux parties la date à laquelle le jugement sera prononcé, le cas échéant par sa mise à disposition au greffe de la juridiction.

S’il décide de renvoyer le prononcé du jugement à une date ultérieure, le président en avise les parties par tous moyens. Cet avis comporte les motifs de la prorogation ainsi que la nouvelle date à laquelle la décision sera rendue.
