Law/Patents - Law (general) / Family law (France)

French term or phrase: conseil de famille

Like my previous question, the context here is a guardianship order.

Clearly this isn't a family council.

The Court dealing with the case is the tribunal de proximité which is part of the newly formed tribunal judiciaire - this takes over the functions of the TI and the TGI which have both been abolished with effect from the beginning of this year.

La délivrance d'une copie certifiée conforme d'une décision du juge ou d'une délibération du * conseil de famille *, par le greffe contre récépissé daté et signé, vaut notification dès lors que les voies de recours et les sanctions encourues pour recours abusif sont portées à la connaissance de l'intéressé.

I am twixt 2 possibilities, but undecided:

- Board of Guardians
- Family Panel

No guesses please!

conseil de famille family council

Explanation:
I don't see why you don't like "family council", since it's a council of family members. You could try to find synonyms, but there doesn't seem to be any point.

The Conseil de Famille (French: family council) is a French institution for the protection of the interests of minors.[1] By the Code Civil (art. 407–410) it is composed of seven members. The local justice of the peace (juge de paix) is the presiding officer.[1] The other six members must be relations of the minor, chosen from the mother's and father's side of the family respectively (three on each side).

13 hrs confidence:

conseil de famille (UK: Court of Protection) Capacity Assessment Panel

Explanation:
Again, guardian needs to be carefully considered for UK consumption, as it often doesn't fit the bill.

The comment of 'no English equivalent' again could mean:

1. rarely in law, there really isn't even a 'fuzzy match'
2. there is, but there is a problem of recognition and identification
3. the commentator doesn't know or has forgotten or
4. has no hands-on experience i any jurisdiction

Example sentence(s):

Elizabeth Young is a member of the Court of Protection Panel of Professional Deputies, giving her first-hand experience of the role and responsibilities many of our clients take on.
