DUBLIN LITIGATION  

When an asylum seeker passes through a member state of the European Union and takes their fingerprints there, the authorities of that country are deemed to be responsible for their asylum application.

Under these conditions, if this asylum seeker files an application in France, he is likely to be transferred to the country where he has registered his passage and not be able to continue his application on our territory.

This decision to return an asylum seeker to another European country can be appealed to the Administrative Court, in accordance with the exceptions provided for by the Dublin Regulation.

This very delicate dispute requires a certain mastery of the procedure that Maître Clara TRUGNAN has been able to develop.

La procédure Dublin génère un contentieux technique et complexe.

Lorsqu’un demandeur d’asile passe par un État membre de l’Union européenne et y enregistre ses empreintes, les autorités de ce pays sont censées être responsables sa demande d’asile.

Dans ces conditions, si ce demandeur d’asile dépose une demande en France, il est susceptible d’être transférer vers le pays où il a enregistré son passage et ne pas pouvoir poursuivre sa demande sur notre territoire.

Cette décision de renvoyer un demandeur d’asile vers un autre pays européen peut être contestée devant le tribunal administratif, conformément aux exceptions prévues par le Règlement Dublin.

Ce contentieux très délicat nécessite une certaine maîtrise de la procédure que Maître Clara TRUGNAN a su développer.

LITIGATION ON THE REGISTRATION OF THE ASYLUM APPLICATION

The introduction of a single foreign number makes it difficult to lodge an asylum application in France.

 

If you are unable to register your asylum application, it is possible, under certain conditions, to challenge this refusal before the Administrative Court.

 

This litigation requires a certain mastery of the procedure that Maître Clara TRUGNAN has developed.

OPFRA PROCEDURE

Since the 2015 law, asylum seekers can be assisted by a lawyer during their interview with an OFPRA officer.

 

Preparation and assistance during this interview can avoid many difficulties during the rest of the procedure.

 

However, this service is not covered by legal aid.

LITIGATION BEFORE THE CNDA

If OFPRA refuses to recognise refugee status, it is imperative to contest this decision within 30 days or to request legal aid within 15 days.

 

Contact the firm to obtain a certificate of acceptance of legal aid.

 

The firm carefully prepares appeals and supplementary pleadings, ensuring that recent and relevant documentation is attached.

 

The firm ensures that the applicant is prepared before the hearing, by means of one or more meetings, either face-to-face or remotely, in cooperation with the reception structures and social workers, and with an independent interpreter, if necessary.

REVIEW PROCESS

An asylum seeker who has been definitively refused by the CNDA may apply for a review of his or her asylum application if he or she is able to provide new evidence in support of the application.

 

This request is not subject to a specific time limit or a limited number of applications.

 

This re-examination procedure follows the same rules as the initial asylum application.

However, it is always advisable to consult a lawyer and to prepare the application for reconsideration in advance, as it is processed within a shorter timeframe.

INFORMATION ON LITIGATION BEFORE THE COUNCIL OF STATE

If an asylum application is rejected by the CNDA, there is no appeal procedure. The only contentious route is an appeal to the Council of State.


Access to this procedure, as well as its chances of success, are very limited.


The first step is to make an application for legal aid, within 30 days, with a covering letter setting out the legal arguments likely to lead to the cassation of the CNDA's decision. Maître Clara TRUGNAN can advise you on the appropriateness of this procedure and guide you in the next steps.
