The Disciplinary Chamber of first instance must give its decision within six months of the date of receipt by that Chamber of the complete file of the complaint or request.
On expiry of this period, any party may ask the President of the National Disciplinary Chamber to refer the case to another Disciplinary Chamber. Such a request shall not have the effect of removing the case from the Disciplinary Board of first instance to which the matter was initially referred.
Where justified by considerations relating to the proper administration of justice, the President of the National Disciplinary Board may assign the case to a Board designated by him.
The time limits provided for in this article shall be counted in accordance with the provisions of articles 640 to 644 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
