Counsel appeared in large numbers at the immediate appearances to state, at length, each point of nullity of procedure.


New strategy for lawyers in Paris. Those mobilized against the pension reform obtained Monday the release without trial of several defendants by practicing a "massive defense" during a stormy hearing of immediate appearances, a mode of action denounced by the prosecutor of Paris.

After a week of hard strike in Paris, during which defendants appeared without legal aid lawyers, the black dresses changed method Monday: they went in number to the immediate appearances to plead at length each point of nullity of procedure .

Their strategy thus led the 2nd section of the 23rd correctional chamber to release at least seven defendants who had been brought before the court after the end of their police custody.

Theft or drunk driving

According to a judicial source, these men appeared, as the case may be, for acts of theft, robberies in meetings, drunk driving for repeat offenses or involuntary injury by driver.

"As soon as we make 100% our job and that we raise all the nullities, the machine seizes up", declared Me Guillaume Grèze on the sidelines of this audience marked by several incidents, defending himself "from any maneuver of obstruction" .

“There is no justice without a lawyer, and from the moment we are threatened on our pensions and our pension contributions, which would double from 14% to 28% for those whose incomes are less than 40,000 euros per year, it is to economically kill our job, "he justified.

It is "extremely serious"

Came in person at the hearing, the public prosecutor Rémy Heitz judged "extremely serious" that "this movement leads to the release of people likely to repeat offenses".

"In my eyes, the limits are clearly exceeded here," he added, denouncing a "form of obstruction".

"Today, it is people awaiting a public defense lawyer, both perpetrators and victims, who are suffering from this situation [...] and the consequences for the safety of our fellow citizens are significant," warned the prosecutor. .
