This file is based  on a study session organised by the CEPEJ on 30 November 2004, the purpose of which was to look at the mechanisms available to Member states when they are faced with dysfunctions in one of their courts. The idea was to take stock of the systems in force, think about what should be put in place and see how the CEPEJ could help improve these systems.
