French term

Arrêté de conflit Tribunal de conflits

French to English Law/Patents Law (general) Jurisdictional conflict
"Après une phase amiable (déclinatoire de compétence envoyé par le préfet à la juridiction), et à défaut de déclaration d'incompétence par l'autorité judiciaire, le préfet prend un arrêté de conflit qui oblige la juridiction judiciaire à surseoir dans l'attente de l'arrêt du Tribunal des conflits qui confirmera l'arrêté de conflit ou l'annulera"

This is an older document concerning a case brought before the Tribunal de Conflits.
It is a dispute between the Conseil d'Etat and the judiciary.

Apparently, this is quite an old term in French law and there doesn't seem to be any equivalent in Anglo-Saxon law...any idea?

Discussion

writeaway Sep 5, 2013:
what ideas do you have? anything you've already rejected? what have you found so far? as it turns out, there is lots of information on the www about this. I assume that an arrêté de conflit isn't a problem. arrêté and conflit can be found in the glossary and most Fr-En dictionaries.
The standard procedure for term like Tribunal de conflits is to keep it in French and provide an explanation in English. Even with an English translation, the French should be kept.

(Tribunal de conflits) = Court of Conflicts

For the "Tribunal de conflits", the European Commission uses "Court of conflicts"

See:
Where there is a conflict of jurisdiction between the two orders of courts - the judicial and the administrative - the Court of Conflicts decides which court will have jurisdiction

http://ec.europa.eu/civiljustice/org_justice/org_justice_fra...



and you can also see:

The somewhat rigid structure of the different courts in France, particularly the strict distinction between the civil and administrative courts, can give rise to certain difficulties of jurisdiction, and therefore of redress; and this is specially the case where the State is involved in business transactions (as it is from time to time). Such difficulties of jurisdiction are submitted to the Court of Conflicts.

Note from asker:
The challenge was not so much whether there were references to this term, rather the question of whether it is translated into English in conventional usage since there seems to be no standing court with such a name in the English-speaking world and the French court system routinely uses it to settle conflicts between the administrative instances of the government and the judiciary.

Le tribunal des conflits est une juridiction paritaire française composée de conseillers d'État et de conseillers à la Cour de cassation, chargée de trancher les conflits d'attribution et de décision entre les deux ordres de juridiction, judiciaire et administratif. Elle est présidée par le Garde des Sceaux, ministre de la Justice (qui ne siège généralement qu'en cas de partage des voix).
