Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The Corps of Doctors of the Civil Registry is abolished and its officials, along with those from the former Scale of Doctors of the Child Protection Work, are integrated into the Corps of Forensic Doctors. Those coming from the Civil Registry will have preference for posts assigned to the Civil Registry.
  2. Forced retirement for Judges and Magistrates moves to age seventy, though they may retire voluntarily from sixty-five after giving the General Council of the Judiciary six months' notice. This rule applies to those who have not yet turned sixty-eight when the law takes effect.
  3. The Civil Registry Law is amended to allow registry entries to be processed automatically, that is, by computer, and to regulate automated data files. It also clarifies that the forensic doctor will issue an opinion on the cause of death when the medical certificate is missing or insufficient.
  4. Integrated doctors who pass a training course organized by the Center for Judicial Studies may hold posts as forensic doctors other than those reserved for their origin. Those who already worked at least one year as an interim or substitute forensic doctor are exempt from the course.
