TRIBUNAL ADMINISTRATIF DE BORDEAUX

What TRIBUNAL ADMINISTRATIF DE BORDEAUX does

The Tribunal Administratif de Bordeaux is a French administrative court that adjudicates disputes between citizens and public administration within the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Operating under the authority of the Conseil d'État — which also hosts its IT systems and serves as its Data Protection Officer — the tribunal provides free judicial review of administrative decisions covering taxation, urban planning, social benefits, environmental permits, public contracts, and fundamental freedoms. Its core outputs are legal decisions and judicial proceedings, organised across six collegiate chambers (the sixth created in September 2022 in response to 25%+ caseload growth since 2016). Annual activity includes approximately 6,503 requests judged, 897 urgent référé proceedings, and 399 mediation procedures launched.

The tribunal's underlying technology stack is portal-driven rather than platform-native. Télérecours is the mandatory electronic filing system for lawyers and administrations, with a separate Télérecours Citizens portal for individuals; Sagace provides case tracking; and an Open Data platform publishes the full corpus of administrative court decisions. The public website runs on the Ibexa content management system, with Matomo (Piwik) analytics and tarteaucitron cookie management. Accessibility is supported through FALC (French Easy-to-Read) documentation and contrast/spaced display modes.

The business model is entirely publicly funded: the tribunal is financed through the French state budget via the Ministry of Justice and the Conseil d'État, and provides judicial services free of charge to citizens, with no commercial revenue, fees, or pricing tiers. Distribution is multi-channel — physical courthouse at 9 Rue Tastet, Bordeaux, alongside the self-serve digital portals — and customer segments span individual citizens, lawyers and legal practitioners, public administrations (as litigants), and certified mediators and experts.
