Abstract

The Priority Preliminary Ruling on the issue of constitutionality (question prioritaire de constitutionnalité), in force since March 2010, represents more than just an important reform in the French legal system: it amounts to an upheaval, finally awarding the Constitution the status of genuine imperative norm. This long-awaited change is characterized by originality and is highly efficient in the protection of human rights.
