Section 5: Additional designations

During the term of office, in the event of vacancies, additional appointments may be made under the conditions set out in articles L. 1441-26 to L. 1441-31.

In the case provided for in Article L. 1441-25, the industrial tribunal members are appointed jointly by the Minister of Justice and the Minister for Employment, by industrial tribunal, college and section, for the remainder of the term of office, on the recommendation of the trade unions and professional organisations in accordance with the procedures set out in this section.

The provisions of sections 3 and 4 relating to candidacy and challenges to appointments apply to additional appointments, with the exception of the provisions of articles L. 1441-19, L. 1441-20 and L. 1441-21.

The declaration of candidacy results from the submission by electronic means of a list of candidates for each industrial tribunal by the representatives of the organisations to which seats have been allocated in application of article L. 1441-4 and all of whose seats have not been filled.

This list of candidates is composed, for each organisation, in such a way that the difference between the number of women and men among the number of councillors appointed to each council is no greater than one or, where the list includes fewer candidates than the number of seats remaining to be filled, in such a way as to reduce the difference between the number of councillors of each sex.

No list may contain more candidates than the number of vacancies remaining to be filled per section and industrial tribunal.

Nomination papers that do not comply with the conditions set out in articles L. 1441-28 to L. 1441-30 on the closing date for the submission of candidacies may not be registered by the administrative authority.
