Article R722-11 of the French Commercial code

The President of the Commercial Court is deputised in his functions by a Vice-President. The latter is appointed under the same conditions as those provided for deputising in the event of impediment in article R. 722-12. He is chosen from judges who have held office in a commercial court for at least three years.

The order appointing the vice-chairman may be amended during the course of the judicial year, in the event that the judge initially appointed ceases to hold office.
