The regional council of statutory auditors sits in the principal town of the court of appeal and is designated by the name of that principal town.
When regional companies are grouped together pursuant to the third paragraph of article L. 821-6, the regional council of the resulting company sits in one of the chief towns of the courts of appeal within its jurisdiction. This seat and the name of the regional company are determined by order of the Minister of Justice, after consultation with the national company and the regional companies concerned.
The regional council may, in exceptional circumstances, sit in another location within the jurisdiction of the court of appeal or one of the courts of appeal to which it belongs, with the agreement of the heads of court.
