Article L2523-5 of the French Labour Code

After attempting, where necessary, to reconcile the parties, the mediator submits to them, in the form of a reasoned recommendation, proposals for the settlement of the points in dispute, within one month of his appointment. This period may be extended with their agreement.

However, if the mediator finds that the dispute concerns the interpretation or disregard of legal provisions or contractual stipulations, he shall recommend that the parties submit the dispute either to the competent court or to the contractual arbitration procedure provided for in articles L. 2524-1 and L. 2524-2.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article L2523-5

Après avoir, lorsqu’il est nécessaire, essayé de concilier les parties, le médiateur leur soumet, sous forme de recommandation motivée, des propositions en vue du règlement des points en litige, dans un délai d’un mois à compter de sa désignation. Ce délai peut être prorogé avec leur accord.

Toutefois, lorsque le médiateur constate que le conflit porte sur l’interprétation ou la méconnaissance des dispositions légales ou des stipulations conventionnelles, il recommande aux parties de soumettre le conflit soit à la juridiction compétente, soit à la procédure contractuelle d’arbitrage prévue aux articles L. 2524-1 et L. 2524-2.
