Where sections with departmental or interdepartmental jurisdiction exist, the regional section of the regional commission retains jurisdiction over collective disputes arising within its constituency.
The departmental or interdepartmental sections are competent for disputes arising within their jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the first and second paragraphs, the dispute may be referred to the regional section by decision of the regional prefect, either on the proposal of the regional director of companies, competition, consumption, labour and employment, or at the request of the parties or one of them.
