The General Meeting of the industrial tribunal appoints each year, in accordance with the provisions of articles L. 1423-3, L. 1423-5, R. 1423-11 and R. 1423-12, the employer industrial tribunal members and the employee industrial tribunal members called upon to hold summary hearings.
The number of councillors appointed in this way must be sufficient to ensure, according to a rotation established by the internal rules of procedure of the industrial tribunal, the service of summary hearings.
Where a labour tribunal is set up, the appointments referred to in the first paragraph must be made within three months of the date on which the tribunal is set up. Until these appointments are made, the conciliation panel of the industrial tribunal is made up of the chairman and vice-chairman as well as the councillor they appoint from their respective colleges.
