Question 17001 — judicial and legal professions

Summary

Ms. Béatrice Roullaud draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the need to improve the status and remuneration of ad hoc administrators. Appointed to represent a minor when his interests are in opposition to those of his sole legal administrator or his two legal representatives, their function is essential to guarantee the rights of the child in a legal procedure. The number of their interventions is approximately 5,000 to 6,000 per year. However, although the ad hoc administrator is a key player in the process of supporting the minor victim, the funding allocated for the exercise of this mandate is almost non-existent. The remuneration of ad hoc administrators is in fact not commensurate with the time spent with the minors, they correspond neither to the real workload nor to the complexity of the situations handled. They work at a loss. It seems implausible that an ad hoc administrator would only be compensated for a simple judicial mission up to a flat rate of 175 euros, only 450 euros for a more complex mission in the context of a criminal case, with a supplement of 300 euros for accompaniment to a hearing at the juvenile court. Faced with this lack of attractiveness of their missions, it would be necessary to grant them a specific status, compulsory specialized training as well as an increase in their compensation, as recommended by the Independent Commission on Incest and Sexual Violence Against Children (CIIVISE) in its report “Sexual violence against children: we believe you” of November 2023. These recommendations were also included in the report of the fact-finding mission on the imprescriptibility of violence committed against minors, adopted in April 2026 by the delegation for children's rights of which it is a member, as well as in the report of the commission of inquiry on the judicial treatment of parental incestuous sexual violence committed against children and the situation of protective parents, in particular protective mothers, adopted on July 1, 2026, which requires a real status for ad hoc administrators. She therefore asks him what action he intends to give to these legitimate requests.
