cour de cassation


Explanation:
Juridiction supérieure, siégeant à Paris, et dont le rôle est d'annuler les décisions des tribunaux de l'ordre judiciaire qui lui sont déférées lorsque celles-ci ont été rendues en dernier ressort, et qu'elles contiennent une violation de la loi ou des formes prescrites à peine de nullité.
Note :
Par l'interprétation qu'elle donne aux lois, la Cour de cassation assure l'unité de la jurisprudence.

conseil constitutionnel


Explanation:
the "Cour de Cassation" is the supreme judiciary court.
If the case is political (some people think that a law or a decree is unconstitutional) then the Conseil Constitutionnel has the final say.
