Question 26788 — pensions: independent and special schemes

Summary

Mr. Joël Aviragnet draws the attention of the Keeper of the Seals, Minister of Justice, to the retirement plan for lawyers provided for in the bill establishing a universal retirement plan. For four weeks, more than 160 French bars, representing nearly 70,000 lawyers, have been on strike. Today, their pension fund (the CNBF), financed exclusively by their contributions, is autonomous, surplus and contributes to solidarity national. The entry of this profession into the universal system involves a significant risk for it. Therefore, if adopted, this measure would jeopardize the principle of equal access to justice. The economic impact will be considerable with the establishment of a minimum pension amount of 1,000 euros net per month compared to 1,416 euros currently. On the other hand, the doubling of the retirement contribution rate for lawyers going from 14 to 28% will be likely to degrade the financial health of law firms. This measure will mainly affect small structures and will lead to the weakening, or even disappearance, of 30% of them. These are the same firms that provide legal aid and ensure daily access to justice and the law for the most deprived. He therefore asks her if she plans to postpone the adoption of this reform and to provide specificity for this profession.
