[HIGHLIGHTS] Immigration law: “Let’s loosen the excessive constraint that the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Council imposes on Parliament”

Public law professor Jérôme Roux says the decision of the Constitutional Council on the immigration law illustrates the defects in its jurisprudence on the right of amendment. Of the 86 articles of immigration law before it, the Council censored 35, including 31 in full, he says.

Roux: The Council made massive use of this procedural “means’ of censorship which exempted it from examining in substance the conformity with the Constitution of controversial provisions, of which its decision therefore does not prejudge.
