Proceedings of the Salon du Droit: Administrative Justice and Accountability in Haitian History
Summary: The proceedings of a colloquium the court held on administrative justice and accountability in Haitian history. The papers trace the construction of the financial jurisdiction from the nineteenth century, the place of administrative litigation in Haitian law, and why control over public accounts has remained weak.
Key Findings
- The publication records the 10th edition of the Salon du droit on administrative justice and accountability in Haiti's history.
- The CSCCA served as scientific coordinator for this edition after being invited by Cabinet Patrick Laurent et Associes.
- The edition was framed as a prelude to activities celebrating 200 years since the creation of the Chambre des comptes, ancestor of the CSCCA.
- The document includes opening remarks, conference materials, an exhibition and a fictive trial used for public legal education.
- The fictive case illustrates CSCCA jurisdiction and admissibility of a challenge against an administrative decision filed within 90 days.
- The fictive decision turns on freedom of expression, legality of administrative decisions and illegality of disciplinary decisions not grounded in material facts.
