In the event of a dispute concerning the employer’s decision provided for in article L. 2313-4, the number and perimeter of the separate establishments are set by the administrative authority of the company’s registered office under conditions laid down by decree in the Conseil d’Etat. When the referral to the administrative authority is made as part of an overall electoral process, it suspends this process until the administrative decision is taken and extends the term of office of the elected representatives until the results of the ballot are announced.
The decision of the administrative authority may be appealed to the judicial judge, to the exclusion of any other administrative or contentious appeal.
