Clearance rate in administrative courts in France and in Europe 2020

In French administrative courts, the clearance rate was higher than the European median for second instance courts, but lower for the first instance and supreme courts in 2020. Indeed, the clearance rate in administrative courts of second instance was 101.6 percent in France, compared to the European median of 100.9 percent. In addition, a clearance rate exceeding 100 percent means that the court is able to resolve more cases than it has been seized with, and thus that the backlog of cases is decreasing. The backlog of cases was therefore greatest in first instance administrative courts in Europe in 2020.

在法国行政法院系统中，2020年二审法院的结案率高于欧洲平均水平，而一审法院和最高法院则低于此水平。实际上，法国二审行政法院的结案率为101.6%，高于欧洲的100.9%平均水平。此外，结案率超过100%意味着法院能够处理的案件数量超过了收到的案件数量，从而表明案件积压正在减少。因此，2020年欧洲一审行政法院的案件积压最为严重。
