The Use of Foreign Precedents by Constitutional Judges
Edited by Tania Groppi and Marie-Claire Ponthoreau

In 2007 the International Association of Constitutional Law established an Interest Group on 'The Use of Foreign Precedents by Constitutional Judges' to conduct a survey of the use of foreign precedents by Supreme and Constitutional Courts in deciding constitutional cases. Its purpose was to determine - through empirical analysis employing both quantitative and qualitative indicators - the extent to which foreign case law is cited. The survey aimed to test the reliability of studies describing and reporting instances of transjudicial communication between Courts. The research also provides useful insights into the extent to which a progressive constitutional convergence may be taking place between common law and civil law traditions. The present work includes studies by scholars from African, American, Asian, European, Latin American and Oceania countries, representing jurisdictions belonging to both common law and civil law traditions, and countries employing both centralised and decentralised systems of judicial review. The results, published here for the first time, give us the best evidence yet of the existence and limits of a transnational constitutional communication between courts.

Le Conseil constitutionnel a été saisi le 27 février 2013 par la Cour de cassation d'une question prioritaire de constitutionnalité (QPC) posée par M. Jeremy F. Cette question est relative à la conformité aux droits et libertés que la Constitution garantit du quatrième alinéa de l'article 695-46 du code de procédure pénale (CPP).

L'article 695-46 du CPP est relatif au mandat d'arrêt européen (MAE). Ce mandat a été institué par la décision-cadre du Conseil de l'Union européenne du 13 juin 2002. La loi du 9 mars 2004 a inséré dans le code de procédure pénale les règles relatives à ce mandat. Après la remise d'une personne à un autre État membre de l'Union européenne en application d'un MAE, l'article 695-46 prévoit que la chambre de l'instruction statue dans un délai de trente jours, « sans recours », sur une demande aux fins, soit d'étendre les effets de ce mandat à d'autres infractions soit d'autoriser la remise de la personne à un État tiers.
