1.5. Domestice Noise Problems in France - Médiateur Pénale

If you have reported the matter to the police, and the Procureur decides not to proceed to court, then one option they may take is to ask the legal Mediateur Penale to intervene.

This person should not be confused with a conciliateur de justice as the Médiateur Pénale is a person whose assistance can only be invoked by the Procureur.

The Médiateur Pénale has the same role as that as a conciliateur de justice and, in the same manner, has no powers to enforce a solution to the problem.

Nevertheless, if the offending party refuses to engage in the process or continues with the noise after their intervention then it will have a persuasive influence in a later court hearing.
