Article LO6244-1 of the French General Code of Local Authorities

Any taxpayer registered on the roll of the collectivity of Saint-Barthélemy or any elector registered on the electoral rolls of the collectivity has the right to exercise, both as plaintiff and defendant, at his own expense and risk, with the authorisation of the administrative court, the actions that he believes belong to the collectivity and that the latter, previously called upon to deliberate, has refused or neglected to exercise.

The taxpayer or elector shall submit a brief to the administrative court.

The President of the Territorial Council shall submit this brief to the Territorial Council at its next meeting.

Once a judgment has been handed down, the taxpayer or elector may only appeal or appeal to the Supreme Court by virtue of a new authorisation.

Article LO6244-1

Tout contribuable inscrit au rôle de la collectivité de Saint-Barthélemy ou tout électeur inscrit sur les listes électorales de la collectivité a le droit d’exercer, tant en demande qu’en défense, à ses frais et risques, avec l’autorisation du tribunal administratif, les actions qu’il croit appartenir à la collectivité et que celle-ci, préalablement appelée à en délibérer, a refusé ou négligé d’exercer.

Le contribuable ou l’électeur adresse au tribunal administratif un mémoire.

Le président du conseil territorial soumet ce mémoire au conseil territorial lors de sa plus proche réunion.

Lorsqu’un jugement est intervenu, le contribuable ou l’électeur ne peut se pourvoir en appel ou en cassation qu’en vertu d’une nouvelle autorisation.
