Divisional (Courts) President and Presiding Justice of the hearing Explanation: Compare in England & Wales: President of the erstwhile Family, Probate & Admiralty Division of the High Court at the Royal Courts of Justice in London (one who claimed to me, many years ago, that 'legal translation and court interpreting are the hardest legal skills to master') and the Master or Judge presiding over a specific hearing. président de chambre: 'president of a *division* of the Court of Appeal or Court of Cassation' (FHS Bridge, Council of Europe FRE/ENG Glossary' en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Cassation_(France) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2019-09-16 09:49:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You, Robert or 'Bob', are welcome. In case anyone reckons my answer is 'Anglo-Centric', I - without wishing to 'names-drop' - would only add that it is almost against the odds for all three officers sitting in a French court to be in the masculine. As Madame La Présidente de Chambre at the Tribunal de Grande Instance de Versailles once confided to me: 'my daughter asked me why there was a man presiding as judge over one of my cases, She was surprised because she had never seen one before on the Bench ...' Example sentence(s):

President of Chamber and Presiding Judge (of a particular hearing) Explanation: This from Wikipedia, although "magistrates" is clearly wrong; these are senior judges Judgment formation Collegial judgments are composed by three magistrates the first president a president of chamber and a councillor (or president of chamber and two councillors) in the usual formation. The solemn formation consists of five magistrates and is notably used n cases sent back down from the court of cassation In rare cases, the court of appeal meets in the form of an "assembly of chambers" which comprises the magistrates of two chambers (three for the Paris Court of Appeals).[15] |

Reference: Structure of Belgian Court of Appeal Reference information: This Wikipedia article describes (in English) the structure of the Belgian Court of Appeal. Among other things, it gives the English versions of the various judges that make up the panel (those listed in your post): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_appeal_(Belgium) I did not find the corresponding article for the French system. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 36 mins (2019-09-15 20:58:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Look under "Court Structure" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2019-09-15 21:02:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Here is the link to the corresponding article on the French system (look under "Organisation"). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 50 mins (2019-09-15 21:12:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, wrong link. Here is the right one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_Appeal_(France) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court_of_appeal_(Belgium) |

Reference: Dictionnaire juridique Reference information: Perhaps this helps: https://www.dictionnaire-juridique.com/definition/president-... Dans l'organisation judiciaire, "Président" est le nom donné à la fonction du magistrat, qui dirige une juridiction du premier degré. [...] Chaque Cour d'appel et la Cour de Cassation sont présidées par un "Premier Président". Les magistrats qui dans les Cours d'appel et à la Cour de Cassation dirigent les travaux des formations de jugement qui portent aussi le nom de "Chambres", sont des " Présidents de Chambre". [...] L'usage des tribunaux veut donc que l'on donne du "Monsieur le Président" à tout magistrat qui préside une formation d'un tribunal, même s'il statue à juge unique, puisqu'il préside par délégation du Président. Could this perhaps mean that they have named the 'président de chambre' for the record, however as (s)he is not actually presiding over the hearing, the magistrate who is, is listed as the 'président'? https://www.dictionnaire-juridique.com/definition/president-et-premier-president.php |
