Subsection 1: Discipline.

The decisions of the National Disciplinary Committee and those of its Chairman shall state the reasons on which they are based.

A councillor who refuses to be installed or who has been declared to have resigned may, of his own motion or at his own request, be relieved of the incapacity provided for in article L. 1441-10.

Applications for relief from incapacity are addressed to the Minister of Justice. They are admissible only if a period of one year has elapsed since the refusal to install or the resignation. Any application that is rejected after an examination on its merits may not be renewed until a further period of one year has elapsed. A decree is issued to raise the status.
