Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In the Government of France, an ordonnance (French for ordinance) is a statute passed by the Council of Ministers in an area of law normally reserved for statute law passed by the Parliament of France. They should not be confused with decrees, which are executive decisions passed either in fields where the Constitution allows primary legislation from the Council, or secondary legislation supplementing a statute. In the French justice system, the word can also refer to a summary ruling made by a single judge for simple cases. Article 34 of the Constitution of France lists a number of areas of Law that are reserved for statute law, passed by Parliament. All other areas of Law are the domain of regulations, issued by the Government through decrees of the Prime Minister.
